IBM EtherJet 10/100 is not running !!!!!!!

Hi,

I have an IBM Thinkpad 770X running SuSE Linux 6.0 everything works
only the Ethernet-Card is not working.

It is an IBM EtherJet 10/100 CardBus.

When cardmgr is running and i insert the card, the system hangs
and after removing the card everything works fine again
then in the /var/log/messages i have hundreds of similar lines like:

Mar 30 16:48:37 mars kernel:   image 206035: 0x000000-0xffffffff,
signature PCIR
Mar 30 16:48:37 mars kernel:   image 206035: 0x000000-0xffffffff,
signature PCIR
Mar 30 16:48:37 mars kernel:   image 206035: 0x000000-0xffffffff,
signature PCIR
Mar 30 16:48:37 mars kernel:   image 206035: 0x000000-0xffffffff,
signature PCIR
Mar 30 16:48:37 mars kernel:   image 206035: 0x000000-0xffffffff,
signature PCIR
...

I have no problems inserting a Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460C. Now i am not
shure
wat is causing the problem, because a normal pcmcia-card is recognised
correctly.

Thanks

It isn't a supported card, so you should have no reason to expect it
to work.

There exists a driver for it if you look at the end of
the file 'SUPPORTED.CARDS':

    [cs89x0_cs driver]
        IBM EtherJet

but i think the problem is in the cardbus support

Can anyone help

Thanks

This driver is for a 16-bit card that is not related to the 10/100
CardBus EtherJet card.

1. pcmcia problem (IBM EtherJet 10/100)

I have a problem with my pcmcia card.

System:
        - Redhat 6.1, 2.2.12 og pcmcia-cs-3.0.14
        - digital hinote Ultra 2000
        - card Ibm EtherJet 10/100

During bootup i get two *beeps* when pcmcia card services are started
(wich is a good thing, right ;)) (i have only one card in this maschine)
In /etc/pcmcia/config.opts have I added this:

------ snip -------

card "10/100 EtherJet Cardbus"
 version "IBM", "10/100 EtherJet Cardbus", "*", "*"
 bind "tulip_cb"

------- snip -----

When i take a; cardinfo, it tells me that all sockets are empty. But if I
take a dump_cis i get all the right info about the card.

I made a ifcfg-networkcard file just for fun, where device = eth0 (i made
it via netcfg). If i do a ifup ifcfg-networkcard i get:

Delaying eth0 initalization

What does this mean?

Does anyone know what might be wrong, take a shot :)) (even if you think
the idea is vague :), I'm a bit stuck and frustrated here now :).
litt for mye en litt for mye.

less /proc/interrupts gives no ioport to the pcmcia card :(. it looks like
the card isn't propably set up.
