Well, I tested the pcmcia package 3.2.8 under SuSE 9.0 AMD64 => bad results So I had to downgrade this package into the original one : 3.2.4. I took the config.opts file (modified) of my SuSE 9.1. And the Com One modem card works !!! So, it seems that WinXP can have a benefit for PCMCIA cards under linux :-D : the config.opts file is base on some data given by WinXP. But have a look on the secondary PCI bridge with lspci -vv for the memory. Hereafter this file. And under my SuSE 9.1, my Netgear FA411 network card is well recognized and mounted as eth1 (ifconfig). Not the case under SuSE 9.0. My Hayes Optima 288 modem card does not work under the two SuSEs Regards Pascal # # Local PCMCIA Configuration File # #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # # System resources available for PCMCIA cards # # NOTE: these settings have no effect on resources assigned to a # CardBus bridge device itself; this file only affects resources # assigned to cards. Also, interrupt settings here will only affect # ISA bus interrupts assigned to 16-bit cards. PCI interrupts # generally can't be reconfigured. # # With the kernel PCMCIA subsystem, these settings also have no effect # at all on resources used for 32-bit CardBus cards.
