I'm searching for guidance in the wilderness. I'm running a Dell Latitude
CPx laptop with Debian Sid. I originally installed the bf24 kernel and
never had a problem. Now I'm trying to use "kernel-package" to compile
the 2.4.23 kernel. I've downloaded the necessary source run "make
menuconfig" to adjust the settings and followed the various steps to build
the kernel-image. It's a process that I've done with a number of other
machines so I feel very comfortable with it.
So here is the main problem. I'm using a Xircom Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 +
Modem 56. It was recognized without a problem on the old kernel. I've
selected what I thought are the necessary pcmcia and network device
options in the kernel build. But, no matter how many things I seem to
change or reconfigure, I cannot get it to recognize the ethernet
connection for this card.
Here are some clues. In the working kernel "dmesg" shows this:
cs: cb_enable(bus 2)
bridge io map 0 (flags 0x21): 0x200-0x287
bridge mem map 0 (flags 0x1): 0x60008000-0x60013fff
tulip_attach(device 02:00.0)
tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (modified by
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for XIRCOM CBE, fixed by Doug Ledford
eth0: Xircom Cardbus Adapter (DEC 21143 compatible mode)
In the 2.4.23 kernel where the Xircom card does not work it just has:
cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x115d, device 0x0003
PCI: Enabling device 02:00.0 (0000 -> 0003)
PCI: Enabling device 02:00.1 (0000 -> 0003)
As you can see there is no "cb_enable." Any ideas?
