Well, it appears your using one of Hubert's test kernels. He doesn't compile in PCMCIA modules into these. You should get the latest PCMCIA modules package and compile them in. I don't remember the reason for this. A bit of a hint. If you using a test kernel from Hubert Mantel's directory on the ftp server I wouldn't report anything weird to the LKML because it's not a bug it's a configuration issue. Try getting the latest PCMCIA tar.gz and installing it.
Ben... Thanks for the hints.. PCMCIA _isn't_ the problem, and is working just fine... The PCMCIA Orinoco is working just as expected, but the _built in_ 3c556b is giving me grief. Now, I'll grant that I don't know much about this chip set, and it make act as a PCMCIA device that's not removable; I don't know. However, the fact that the Orinoco works fine tells me that the PCMCIA subsystem probably isn't the source of my problems. I asked in another followup, but I'll ask again: If I were to try a generic kernel (aka Marcelo's 2.4.19 or the latest pre-20), are there any patches that I'd need to apply to make it work well with SuSE? I know that in the past I used to apply the ALSA patches, but with ALSA integrated, that should no longer be an issue. Are there any others that I need to be aware of (yeah, I _should_ track this stuff better, but I just don't have the time). Is there someplace a comprehensive list of the patches that SuSE applies to the "standard" kernel (not as a patch, but as a human readable "the xyz patch" and "fix blah")? What about the same to the ~mantel kernels? Thanks much! -Nick
