#346 re-insert needed for ARtem card (2.6.1)

[Simon Schoar]

Hi,

i am running kernel 2.6.1 with builtin pcmcia package
on a Thinkpad r40 (2722-3gg). If i insert an "ARtem
Onair" card (manfid: 0x0268, 0x0001) it is assigned to
socket 2 and recognised as a memory module.

I can solve the problem with the re-insert trick:
$ cardctrl eject 2
$ cardctrl insert 0

That's really strange. How many normal PCMCIA sockets
does this system actually have, 1 or 2? What led you to try
the reinsert trick? It seems very non-obvious and I have no
idea why it works!

- one slot for 2 cards (one male, one female connector[whats
that for?])
- one mini pci slot (card in socket 1)

I was playing around with my new card (eject, insert, pcmcia
restart, wireless.opts, etc) and by accident it worked.
Thats where i figured out, that the card works fine, if it
is connected to socket 0. Then i read in the bugtracking
system that (some years ago) there had been people using the
re-insert trick.

I think you hare only one external PCMCIA slot. Online info
for the R40 says that it has one PCMCIA slot that is type
I/II/III. When you say "one male, one female connector"
what do you mean exactly? I bet that what you mean is that
you can stick a card into one slot but it doesn't go all the
way in to the other "slot"? Because the other slot is not a
slot at all; it is extra space for accommodating a
double-height ("type III") card.

Anyway, check for kernel messages ('dmesg | tail') when you
plug in the card the first time. I suspect you're getting
an error message.
