etch xircom support

[bigoperm@yahoo.com]

I recently upgraded from sarge to etch and my Xircom PCMCIA card is not recognized - ifconfig doesn't see it, nor do the status lights glow/blink. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've even manually loaded the driver (insmod [kernel src path]/drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.ko) with no luck.

Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you confirmed that your PCMCIA socket is working at all?

I haven't How do I do this?

[bigtomrodney]

Usually the kernel module is yenta_socket - try the following to see if it is loaded

lsmod |grep -ir yenta

If you don't get anything back from running that it is most likely not loaded so you can try to load it

su - 
modprobe yenta_socket

Thanks for hanging in here with me bigtom

$ lsmod | grep -ir yenta
yenta_socket     24460 2
rsrc_nonstatic   11840 1 yenta_socket
pcmcia_core     36852 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rxrc_nonstatic
$ modprobe yenta_socket
$

It appears that yenta's in there okay...
