Description Nathanial Hendler 2002-03-13 14:44:36 UTC
I have a Sony Vaio PCG-F540 laptop with a 3com 3cxfe575bt pcmcia ethernet card.
 The whole system freezes when I run 'cardmgr -f'  It freezes after `./network
start eth0`.

I'm don't have a real great understanding of how all this works, but I did try
to get it to work without using the cardmgr...

//////////////////////////////////////////
# insmod pcmcia_core
# insmod i82365
# insmod ds
# modprobe 3c575_cb

now a problem...

# /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0
/etc/pcmcia/network: /var/lib/pcmcia/stab: No such file or directory
//////////////////////////////////////////

Maybe that shouldn't have worked, because I'm forgetting to do something else
first.  I just tried to avoid the cardmgr.
Oh yeah, I'm using build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r17.iso   Your bug submission form doesn't
have that version as a choice.

Also have reported problems with 3.1.31 on #gentoo that are apparently fixed
when using a 3.1.32 prerelease version.
Comment 2 Chad Huneycutt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-03-15 17:33:09 UTC
pcmcia-cs-3.1.33 may fix this problem, so I set that as a dependency.
Comment 3 Chad Huneycutt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-03-18 20:07:50 UTC
I have unmasked pcmcia-cs 3.1.33, and it will appear on the next ISO.
Comment 4 Karl Trygve Kalleberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-03-22 18:18:12 UTC
Assume this one is fixed as #1056 is done. PCMCIA 3.1.33 will be on an upcoming ISO.
