Hello all, I have just upgraded from 4.2-RELEASE (November 2000) to the 4.3-RELEASE (April 2001) version on my laptop. In doing so I have encountered a lot of problems relating to the Xircom CEM56 PCMCIA card that is embedded in my laptop (permanently embedded). Most of these I have fixed now, so I thought I'd share the experience in case anybody else tries the same. First some details about the hardware: Laptop: DEC/Digital HiNote Ultra 2000 PCMCIA Card: Xircom CEM56 in slot 0 of pccard0 (there are two PCMCIA bridges in this PC) Under 4.2 the relevant parts of the startup sequence output were: ---8<--- pcic-pci0: <TI PCI-1131 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 9 at device 7.0 on pci0 pcic-pci0: TI113X PCI Config Reg: [speaker enable][CSC serial isa irq] pcic-pci1: <TI PCI-1131 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 10 at device 7.1 on pci0 pcic-pci1: TI113X PCI Config Reg: [speaker enable][CSC serial isa irq] pcic0: <Cirrus Logic PD672X> at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 on isa0 pcic0: Polling mode pccard0: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0 pccard1: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0 pccard: card inserted, slot 0 xe0 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff iomem 0xd0000-0xd0fff irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 xe0: Xircom CEM56, bonding version 0x55, 100Mbps capable, with modem xe0: DingoID = 0x444b, RevisionID = 0, VendorID = 0 xe0: Ethernet address 00:80:c7:4c:3f:a1 ---8<--- Under 4.3 that became: ---8<--- pcic-pci0: <TI PCI-1131 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 9 at device 7.0 on pci0 pcic-pci0: TI113X PCI Config Reg: [speaker enable][CSC serial isa irq] pcic-pci1: <TI PCI-1131 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 10 at device 7.1 on pci0 pcic-pci1: TI113X PCI Config Reg: [speaker enable][CSC serial isa irq] pcic0: <Cirrus Logic PD672X> at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 on isa0 pcic0: Polling mode pccard0: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0 pccard1: <PC Card bus -- kludge version> on pcic0 xe0 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef iomem 0xd0000-0xd0fff irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0 xe0: Xircom CEM56, bonding version 0x55, 100Mbps capable, with modem xe0: DingoID = 0x444b, RevisionID = 0, VendorID = 0 xe0: Ethernet address 00:80:c7:4c:3f:a1 xe1 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef iomem 0xd0000-0xd0fff irq 5 slot 0 on pccard0 xe1: Xircom CEM56, bonding version 0xff, 100Mbps capable, with modem xe1: DingoID = 0xffff, RevisionID = 0xffff, VendorID = 0xffff xe1: Ethernet address 00:80:c7:4c:3f:a1 xe2 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef iomem 0xd0000-0xd0fff irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 xe2: Xircom CEM56, bonding version 0xff, 100Mbps capable, with modem xe2: DingoID = 0xffff, RevisionID = 0xffff, VendorID = 0xffff xe2: Ethernet address 00:80:c7:4c:3f:a1 ---8<--- Note the strange cloning of the ethernet card, and the incorrect choice of interrupt for xe0 and xe1. As you'd expect, this did not function at all. Taking IRQ 5 and 10 away from the list in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf did little to solve the problem, removing only the alias that was on IRQ 5 (don't know why it didn't remove the one on 10 too). So, I modified the entry for the card to force it to use IRQ 11, and that seems to work. Any ideas what has changed between 4.2-r and 4.3-r that causes this strange behaviour? Also, but this isn't changed from 4.2, I still cannot get the external slots to do anything useful. Is there any way to get detection running on pcic-pci1 as well? If nobody has any ideas, I can probably spend some evenings looking at it, but I thought I'd ask first ;-) Regards, John...
