This looks like an easy fix. I confirm the above procedure works on debian Lenny on an old Toshiba 225cds laptop. It looks like it would work pulling the firmware from Gutsy packages too rather than earlier dapper packages but I didn't try it (they may or may not be the same firmware versions?). Do we need to ask debian to do this so it is part of what is upstream from Ubuntu? In debian Lenny, /lib/firmware was empty on a clean install but dropping NE2K.cis into /lib/firmware enabled the SOHOware ND5120-E PCMCIA ethernet card. Perhaps the other firmware packages could also be added for the other cards as well: List from http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/i386/pcmcia-cs/filelist /etc/pcmcia/cis/3CCFEM556.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/3CXEM556.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/COMpad2.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/COMpad4.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/DP83903.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/E-CARD.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/LA-PCM.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/MT5634ZLX.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/NE2K.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/PCMLM28.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/PE-200.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/PE520.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/RS-COM-2P.dat /etc/pcmcia/cis/tamarack.dat
NOTE: Toshiba 225cds laptop also needs i82365 added to /etc/modules to get pcmcia working prior to the above but that is another story unrelated to what card firmware is available -- pcmciautils should include driver firmware from pcmcia-cs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
