#322 Cardmgr does not detect dock insertions

[Marc LaViolette]

Hi,

Thanks for all the great work on the pcmcia. It worked
for me out of the box except for a small detail. Even
though the cardmgr says it is see 4 sockets (2 in the
laptop 2 in the dock), it can only see insertions in
the laptop. My system is

Toshiba Tecra 8000 with docking station
Mandrake 9.1
cardmgr 3.2.3
kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk

The Mandrake control center says I have 4 controller
for the pcmcia

The /var/lib/pcmcia/stab sees but four sockets (0,1,2,3)
Insertions into the last two sockets are seen (two
beep and a single beep when removed). The inserted card
works perfectly in both slots. If the laptop is not
docked I get slightly different values:

Description: ToPIC97

but the sockets work perfectly and the
/var/lib/pcmcia/stab sees but two sockets (0 and 1).

How can I get the dock sockets to function? Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Can you show the system log messages from the yenta driver?

Does "cardctl insert N" allow you to force a card-insert for a
socket in the dock?

The log from the yenta drivers (in syslog is what I think
you want... I am a mechanical engineer be patient ;-) )

The commands (as root)

cardctl insert N (N from 0 to 3)

returns

ioctl(): No such device

Can you show output of 'lspci -v'?

The bogus "socket status" indicates that the driver is not able
to talk to the bridge devices for those two sockets, for some
reason.

Well I think I'm stumped. The information you posted all
looks good: I don't see any reason why the yenta driver would
be unable to access the bridge registers for the sockets in
the dock.

Are there any other PCI devices in the dock? Which ones? I
assume that if there are any, that they work ok? You did not
buy the dock on Ebay, did you? Have you used the dock
under Windows?

I have two docks that do the same thing. They both work
under Windows. I use one dock at work (network card) tthe
other at home (modem). I have no other pcmcia cards.

Try getting a current pcmcia-cs package and configure
with 'Configure --force'. Build it but do not install. Then shut
down your current PCMCIA system
with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia stop'. In the modules directory of
the pcmcia-cs package, do 'insmod pcmcia_core.o'
and 'insmod i82365.o' and see what kernel messages you
get. Also, then, look at the contents of /proc/bus/pccard/00.
