I'm sure PCMCIA is working

Hi all: I recently bought a Vodafone 3g pcmcia card but i'm unable to make it work. I have followed the steps stated in this how-to http://www.pharscape.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=28 but I get stuck beacause cardctl doesn't identify the card. (it is currently working with my Wl-110 wireless card)
What is the output of /var/log/messages?

PCMCIA on AMD64 might be working for some cards, but may be not for all. I understand that you already corrected your config.opts file using the output of lspci, correct? However if one card works that does not mean that all can work. Every card uses a different memory range / port range to talk to your system. I assume that some cannot use the memory / port range offered by amd64 64bit systems. Also different cards / different functions use different parts of the PCMCIA code. network cards and modem cards use different modules of the PCMCIA package. Some parts might work better than the others.

Nothing in /var/log/messages? Nothing at all? Nothing about "anonymous memory"? Nothing about "unable to access memory"? Ususally there is something showing that PCMCIA understood there is something to do for it, it wakes up, checks, and if it does not recognize what is going on there usually is a message. And as far as I've seen, if a card does not get identified, the PCMCIA code seems to try the memory_cs module, which does the output listed above. Also, type "dmesg" in a konsole window, after you inserted the card. Look at the last lines of the output. There should be something. Is it?

yes, not all cards could get to work, and some need dirty workarounds (as postet here this and last month)

Andreas, is SuSE working with the PCMCIA guys to get a better amd64 support in PCMCIA, or is SuSE doing something to have yast do a better configuration of config.opts at install time with SuSE 9.3? If SuSE does nothing I would try to find the time to report the issue to the PCMCIA code owners, but I'm probably too short of time for working it out. It would be great, and also great for SuSE, if amd64 and PCMCIA would work out of the box with SuSE 9.3, but I can understand if amd64 notebooks would be too small a market to invest time in it. Just let us know, please.
