Hi,
I was told that you would be the correct person to write to regarding issues with PCMCIA under the 2.5/2.6 kernels. I own an IBM ThinkPad T21 with a Texas Instruments PCI1450 (rev 03) CardBus bridge. When I first installed a 2.5 kernel on here, it was 2.5.73; when I would insert my Orinoco card, it would work fine, but when I ejected the card (either manually or by using cardctl first), the module would fail to unload and this would cause issues, eventually forcing me to reboot my machine to relinquish my Orinoco card. 2.5.74 was supposed to have some PCMCIA fixes to fix this hotplug issues, but to my surprise, it made my PCMCIA problems even worse; as soon as I put my Orinoco card into the slot, the system would completely lock up. Even the cursor in my console would stop blinking, so I am unable to get any sort of oops message or kernel error for you. Kernels 2.5.75, 2.6.0-test1, and 2.6.0-test2 also had the new problem from 2.5.74. If it is in any way pertinent, I am running the latest version of cardmgr from pcmcia-cs.
Please find attached a gzipped copy of my 2.6.0-test2 .config file. -- Misha Nasledov misha@nasledov.com http://nasledov.com/misha/ [unhandled content-type:application/octet-stream] | ![\](/images/icornerr.gif) |
