Hello David Hinds, Hello Kernelhackers,
sorry that I also directly contact you.
But I'am very confused, at the moment.
My Hardware:
Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280
PCMCIA: Xircom RBEM56G-100
When I use SuSE 7.1 and Kernel 2.4.2 (SuSE) the card
is recognized and network works, also configured via DHCP.
(tulib_cb,serial_cb , perhaps from pcmcia-cs )
But now I want to use Kernel 2.4.3-ac12, because of the
new module, which I've heard/read is better than the old drivers.
O.K., here what I done:
build yenta_socket,xircom_cb,serial_cs,pcmcia_core,..
Modified /etc/pcmcia/config:
device "xircom_cb"
class "network" module "cb_enabler", "xircom_cb"
card "Xircom CBEM56G-100 CardBus 10/100 Ethernet + 56K Modem"
manfid 0x0105, 0x0103
bind "xircom_cb" to 0, "serial_cs" to 1
Linus said serial_cs is for both, old serial_cb & serial_cs.
But when I start the notebook with the same /etc/init.d/pcmcia
I get this:

It is possible I missed something essential?
More information added below.
Would it a good idea to split pcmcia-cs package?
One for use with kernel 2.4, without client-modules
and one for kernel 2.2.x with all modules?
Because of the different names and modules ?
-------------------------
pcmcia-cs 3.1.22 & 3.1.25 (same problem, cardmgr have the same
version number)
What to do?
thanks for any hints or help.
bye

An updated driver "xircom_cb" written by Arjan is available in Alan
Cox's 2.4.3-acXX series. This fixes all known problems AFAIK.

Sorry, that was wrong. He said serial.o is the correct driver.
Thanks for all help, especially from Arjan van de Ven.
Another script/program is necessary.

thanks a lot.
