Andreas, you see, my assumption that PCMCIA does *never* work out of the box on amd64 notebooks seems to be confirmed once again, unfortunately. --------------------------------------------------- Hi JM, this problem is known. Please search the archive of this list for posts with "PCMCIA" somewhere in the subject line, there are explanations. In January I posted a summary, with some workarounds which I did find. In the second half of last year you find several posts with detailed instructions what to do. The main thing is to have a kernel > 2.6.7 (which you should have with 9.2 anyway, and to modify the config.opts file in /etc/pcmcia according to the output of lspci. The default values in config.opts are for 32bit hardware, and do not work with most (or all) amd64 notebooks. The very friendly and helpful guys from SuSE on this list do unfortunately not have the hardware to replicate this. They did give it to their notebook guys, to test it. But these do apparently think that it is normal that the users have to know that they need to modify config.opts on amd64 notebooks, no need to mention it, or to let yast do the modifications for you at install time. I'm not an expert here, I just learned it by googling and trial ad error, so I would appreciate if there is ANYONE who had PCMCIA on a amd64 notebook working out of the box with SuSE 9.0, 9.1 or 9.2, please answer here and describe your configuration a little. Andreas, I think there should be at least an entry in your support data base with instructions on how to do this modifications of config.opts. Also you should either get yast to do it at install time or work with the pcmcia code developers to get it into the standard config.opts JM, please be aware that even after modifying the config.opts many cards still do *not* work. Pascal got some to work by playing with different kernel and pcmcia versions, I got others to work by fooling pcmcia to load serial_cs instead of memory_cs (axen/sagem gprs card), or by modifying the lines value in the cis file of the card (sierra wireless 750 gprs card), all described in my January post. You see the error message of memory_cs in your case, but memory_cs does not exist anymore in 2.6. kernels, it is replaced and should never get called, The pcmcia config scripts still need some cleaning. Sorry, no time now for more, please look at the post in the archive of this list for details.
