About 2 years ago, I bought a IBM 600E laptop with one of the IBM branded Xircom CardBUS cards. It took me about a month (with the help of a lot of people with simular machines) to figure out why the card would be recognized, and even connect to the network, but could never get a IP address from DHCP. It turned out that the sound card which is a one of the CS based chips. The fix that I found was that if I added the following line to the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts The card would be detected, and recognized, and get a IP address.
exclude ports 0x2f8-0x2ff
The unfortunate side effect is that I cannot seem to get the sound card to work, even with OSS-commercial which I had a old license for that expires soon from when I bought a copy way back in I think 96' (what a scary thought).
I realize that this this is a older machine, but this is not unique, I've found over the years that every machine I've owned has had a custom "profile" to get all addin-cards to work. So I leave with two questions.
1. Does someone have a better fix for this problem then I've been able to find?
2. It seems like there is a need to have like a "vendor-profile" support that allows for these special types of conflicts. I havn't been able to find much on this. Is anyone aware of such a thing.
thanks,
evan
