| |
For the first time since 2.3.35, kernel PCMCIA/Cardbus is actually working for me! I'm using a 3cxfe575bt (3Com Cardbus) fast ethernet card with no problems. Even survives apm suspend-resume cycles, and plays well with others (PCI sound devices and USB). Yippee! :)
Previous problems as late as 2.3.48 included:
1) Keyboard and mouse lockups at random once pci-socket loaded; lockups were guaranteed once the 3Com card was inserted, and not freed when the card was ejected. 2) All APM calls would kernel-oops once pci-socket loaded (did anyone else see this behavior?).
Machine is a IBM ThinkPad 390E, with latest BIOS, using a TI 1251 Cardbus controller. I'll test with a borrowed non-Cardbus card (3C589) soon...
Many thanks to everyone's hard work in bug reporting, debugging and fixing this! Hopefully this success eventually propagates to all the others with this annoying problem...
