Hello David Hinds, Hello Kernelhackers,

sorry that I also directly contact you.
But I'am very confused, at the moment.

My Hardware:
Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280
PCMCIA: Xircom RBEM56G-100

When I use SuSE 7.1 and Kernel 2.4.2 (SuSE) the card is recognized and network works, also configured via DHCP. (tulib_cb,serial_cb , perhaps from pcmcia-cs )

But now I want to use Kernel 2.4.3-ac12, because of the new module, which I've heard/read is better than the old drivers.

O.K., here what I done:
build yenta_socket,xircom_cb,serial_cs,pcmcia_core,..

Modified /etc/pcmcia/config:
device "xircom_cb"
class "network" module "cb_enabler", "xircom_cb"

card "Xircom CBEM56G-100 CardBus 10/100 Ethernet + 56K Modem"
manfid 0x0105, 0x0103
bind "xircom_cb" to 0, "serial_cs" to 1

Linus said serial_cs is for both, old serial_cb & serial_cs.

But when I start the notebook with the same /etc/init.d/pcmcia I get this:

It is possible I missed something essential?

More information added below.

Would it a good idea to split pcmcia-cs package? One for use with kernel 2.4, without client-modules and one for kernel 2.2.x with all modules? Because of the different names and modules ?

-------------------------
pcmcia-cs 3.1.22 & 3.1.25 (same problem, cardmgr have the same version number)

What to do?

thanks for any hints or help.

bye
Waldemar

An updated driver "xircom_cb" written by Arjan is available in Alan Cox's 2.4.3-acXX series. This fixes all known problems AFAIK.

Linus said serial_cs is for both, old serial_cb & serial_cs.

Sorry, that was wrong. He said serial.o is the correct driver.

Thanks for all help, especially from Arjan van de Ven. Another script/program is necessary.
