Slacko 5.3.3 doesn't see PCMCIA card in Toshiba laptop |
|
Hi all,
I successfully installed Slacko 5.3.3 on a Toshiba Satellite but it don't recognized the pcmcia card, and I already autoprobed all modules.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance, Elias

Hi Elias- Welcome to Pup.
Run: lsmod in a console and tell us whether "pcnet_cs" is on the list, the driver I suspect your card requires..

Elias, if it helps I have a Portege 3480CT with PCMCIA issues, initially. Fluppy13, Saluki19, TeenPup2010, MacPup520 and other pupplets all detect the usb2 ports, wirFi cards and external CD ROM cards fine. Haven't tried Slacko, but sometimes a loose contact or a mis-aligned card in its slot could give me a false negative for pcmcia.

Hi Semme. Thank you.
The string "pcnet_cs" is not in the list. How can I install this driver?

Hi Puppyt. Thank you.
This card was working normally until few days ago with win98. I already tried wary puppy and arcade puppy but none of these you mentioned.

Do you mean that it STOPPED working in Win98?
Type the command
Does it list your card?

Hi rcrsn51,
The card was working fine in win98 until I installed Slacko. And this is the output of the 'lspci -nn':

This would appear to be the key message. Hopefully, someone with more PCMCIA experience than me will know what to do with it.

Would be reasonable to expect that this bug will be fixed in a new release of Slacko?
Thanks, Elias

You might have better luck trying an OLDER version, like Puppy 431.
