Instructive: This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call a Problem Report.
and
Can't help you with the card, but an _excellent_ problem report, as Peter notes.
Peace.

Contents: A) My Problem B) My System C) Symptoms D) Program Outputs E) Syslog F) Configuration G) What I tried
----------------------
A) My Problem
I try to run an Edimax cardbus fast ethernet card with David Hinds pcmcia package. It is not listed in /etc/pcmcia/config and 'cardctl ident' returns no usable values (see below). What can I do to make it run?
----------------------
B) My System
Debian 3.0 r1 stable ("Woody") 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel pcmcia-cs_3.2.2-1.1_i386.deb installed
Siemens Nixdorf Scenic Mobile 710 Laptop (P 166, 64 MB RAM) Cirrus CL-PD 6832 cardbus controller
Edimax EP-4103 DL cardbus fast ethernet card (which uses a Realtek 8139 chip)
----------------------
C) Symptoms
I had to remove all lines concerning memory ranges from
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts except 'include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff'. Otherwise the system freezes
when the card is inserted. (When I unplug the card there are beeps - middle,
low, high.)
With the changes to config.opts I get a very short and low crack and the
line 'cs: cb_alloc(bus 1):vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8139' when I insert the card.
When I remove the card I get one high beep and the line 'cs:cb_free(bus 1)'.
----------------------

----------------------
F) What I tried
1) The card ran perfectly under WinXP on the same machine. There it was not identified as an Edimax, but as a Realtek 8139 family card. The card configuration in system control read (translated from German):
'Realtek RTL8139-Family-PCI-Fast Ethernet-NIC' Type: Network adapter Producer: Realtek Location: PCI-Bus 1, Device 0, Function 0
Resources: I/O Range FF00-FFFF Memory Range FFEFFE00-FFEFFFFF IRQ 09
'Cirrus Logic PD6832 Cardbus-controller' Type: PCMCIA adapter Producer: Cirrus Logic Location: PCI-Bus 0, Device 20, Function 0 Resources: Memory Range FEDFB000-FEDFBFFF Memory Range FFEFF000-FFEFFFFF Memory Range F9000000-FCFFFFFF I/O Range FF00-FFFF I/O Range FE00-FEFF IRQ 09 Memory Range 000DB000-000DBFFF
2) Under SuSE 8.1 with PCMCIA_PCIC="external" the card was at least recognized by YaST2, but I couldn't get it run.
Section PCI: RT8139 Card Type: CardBus Bus: PCI [...] Resources: mem 0xc8000 active: Yes start: 819200 Rev: 16 Driver: modules active: No modpobe: Yes modules modprobe 8139too
modules active: No modprobe: No modules modprobe mii modprobe 8139too bus_id: 1 hotplug: cardbus [...]
3) When I insert my ELSA Microlink 28.8 MC PCMCIA Modem card when running Debian I get:
2 high beeps.
cs: warning: no high memory space available! cs: memory probe 0x0d0000-0x0dffff: excluding 0xdc000-0xdffff cs: memory probe 0x0c0000-0x0cffff: excluding 0xc0000-0xcbfff cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x200-0x207 0x220-0x22f 0x330-0x337 0x370-0x37f 0x388-0x38f 0x398-0x39f 0x3c0-0x3df 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probe 0x0208-0x021f: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0238-0x032f: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0338-0x036f: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0390-0x0387: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x03a0-0x0397: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x03e0-0x03bf: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0308-0x04cf: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x04d8-0x04ff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: clean. ttyS02 at port 0x03e8 (irq=3) is a 16550A
4) loading kernel module 'pcnet_cs' or 'cb_enabler'
5) /etc/default/pcmcia: adding 'cis_speed=500' or 'cis_speed=900' adding 'wakeup=1'
----------------------
G) Kernel Configuration
/boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 (no changes made!)
(default values are CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_APM=m CONFIG_PNP=m CONFIG_8139CP=y CONFIG_8139TOO=y CONFIG_8139TOO_8129=y
