Just did a fresh install of FC2 on a Dell Latitude C840 laptop, and am
having a bit of trouble with PCMCIA. It appears as though PCMCIA
services are not being started at all. When I boot the machine, my
wireless card is in slot 1, but I get no ack during boot that it was
recognized. Then, /sbin/cardctl status just after boot gives me:
open_sock(): No such device
I can get the PCMCIA services running manually by doing
service network stop
service pcmcia stop
modprobe yenta_socket
service pcmcia start
service network start
So, my question is two-fold:
1) How do I get pcmcia to start on boot? (As a side, I've installed FC2
on other desktops/laptops and have not previously seen this behavior).
2) What further steps do I need to take once pcmcia services are running
to get my wireless nic working? I've got all my network parameters,
etc, handy, so that's not an issue.
A little more info:
# /sbin/cardctl info for my wireless card
[324] $ /sbin/cardctl info
PRODID_1="Lucent Technologies"
PRODID_2="WaveLAN/IEEE"
PRODID_3="Version 01.01"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCID=6
# /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia contents
# pretty standard
[1000] $ more /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
Thanks.
