No worries Mark :) The main issue is that Linux won't play with the
onboard cardbus controller by default. From my Sent Items, last posting
I said this:
To fix cardbus
As root:
cd /etc/pcmcia
vi config.opts
add the lines include port 0x3000-0x7fff, memory 0xe8100000-0xe97fffff
:w and :q to exit
cd /etc/init.d
vi cardbus [to make a new file]
enter the lines -
setpci -s 0:a.0 SUBORDINATE_BUS=0A
cardctl eject
cardctl insert
- into the new file
save and exit with :w and :q
chmod the new file with
chmod 755 cardbus
make a symlink to the new file with:
cd /etc/rc5.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/cardbus /etc/rc5.d/S20pcmcia-cardbus
Rebooted. Now according to what I know, the cardbus card should now
show up in lspci, but it doesn't. I've also tried making a symlink in
/etc/rc3.d as there is something nagging my head about Debian based
distros using3 instead of 5, but I could be wrong on that... very easily
:) Wireless does come up if I run the script manually, ie;
cd /etc/init.d
./cardbus
So I know the script itself is correct.
Have I missed a step somewhere?
End Quote.
Since this I have tried adding symlinks to rc1.d, rc2.d. rc3.d and rc4.d
in order (not at the same time of course!) IIRC currently it's in rc3.d
and it *sort of works* but there is no internet access. I'll post more
tomorrow after I dig the laptop out and have a bash (no pun intended).
Kind regards,
Julian
