I run RH 7.0 on a fujitsu lifebook PII 266 (slow but a good road machine), kernel is 2.2.16. I dowloaded src for pcmcia-cs-3.1.25 in order to get the most up-to-date driver for the Cisco 350. Compile and install is fine and the card worked - sort-of... 1. If I boot with the card in the slot, at about the time pcmcia services are started, the machine invariably crashes. 2. If I boot and then install the card, mostly everything is fine, but 1 in 4 times the machine would just crash completely totally with no messages - i.e one minute x-session next minute memory is being checked by the BIOS. 3. The today I got lucky with a partial crash, i.e. the following messages were written to /var/log/messages and while I could not open a new window, the command ifconfig would hang, I was able to copy the errors.

For some reasons related to my job, I'd really like to go with the Cisco card, but debugging this is beyond me... Please help... Michael |

The PCMCIA-HOWTO has a section with some specific instructions for how to get better information about system lockups; you might try those things. Based just on this information, I would suspect that you may have an IO port conflict, and you may find that fiddling with the IO port windows in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and/or rebuilding PCMCIA with the "PnP BIOS support" option enabled fixes the problem. -- Dave |
