'lo folks. I'm installing 4.4-RELEASE via mfsroot.flp and kern.flp onto a
Toshiba Libretto 50CT (ancient, eh?). I have 2 ethernet cards to work
with (a Wavelan card and a 3COM 3c589D-TP). Both exhibit very similar
behaviour...
I boot kern, then boot mfsroot, then proceed to the "Now's the last chance
to swap devices". The Libretto only has 1 PCMCIA slot, and during boot
its occupied by the floppy drive connector.
At this point I swap the floppy drive out for one of the two cards. THe
system asks for IO Address and Interrupt, but no matter what I select
there, I can't get the cards to come live. I've tried many different
combos. After I hit <enter> on this screen, I alt-F2 to the debug screen
and watch for messages...
For the 3c589, the message is always
ep0: Unit failed to come ready or product ID unknown!
(id 0xff2a)
For the wi card, I get the
wi0: (WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x300 iomem 0xd4800-0xd87ff irq
11 slot 0 on pccard0
wi0: init failed
wi0: timeout etc etc etc
I've tried fiddling with pccardc to see if I could manually nudge the
driver to load, but no success.
Judging by what I'm seeing, there's just a config matching issue with wi0
- but how to resolve it?
SUggestions?
