-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On my old Thinkpad 600, I am attempting to install Etch via NetInst CD. I am having trouble with pcmcia detection, which means I cannot properly detect my network hardware.
The main modules seem to load (pcmcia-core, pcmcia, yenta_socket), as well as the module for my wireless card (bcm43xx), yet "lcpcia" does not show my wireless card. I think I recall once, when etch was "testing" around a year ago, having similar trouble using a PCMCIA NIC on this computer. It was the reason I went back to Sarge. I did see one error in dmesg about a kernel module no longer supporting something I was trying to use. I believe it was this: - -- pcmcia: Detected deprecated PCMCIA ioctl usage. pcmcia: This interface will soon be removed from the kernel; please expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools. pcmcia: see http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html for details. - -- (from the dmesg output on http://www.fabbnet.net/390.htm) So, does kernel 2.6.18 use something different for older PCMCIA devices? If so, why isn't it running, how can I fix it (recompile?) or use a different kernel in Etch (2.4.27?)? - -- Please do not use HTML mail for fully-textual messages.
