Hi,
I have been experiencing problems with my PCMCIA ethernet card. I think there may be an underlying hardware problem but it works with some versions of the kernel (and win 98).
The problem is as follows. If I boot up kernel 2.4.15 (and 2.4.14) with the card inserted when cardmanager starts I get:
eth0: interrupt from stopped card
At this stage the system hangs. If i remove the card the above message fills the screen.
The same thing happens if i insert the card after booting.
However in 2.4.13 if i insert the card after booting i see different behaviour. Firstly I have to insert the card, remove it and then insert it again. It now works fine.
In kernel versions previous to this it worked fine from bootup.
My setup is as follows.
Acer Travelmate 514T Surecom EP-427 ethernet card
192 MB RAM.
from /var/log/dmesg:
Yenta IRQ list 0cb8, PCI irq9 Socket status: 30000007 Yenta IRQ list 0cb8, PCI irq9 Socket status: 30000007
pcmcia-cs version 3.1.29
