MDK9.2 and wireless on Toshiba laptop

Background:

 

When I first installed 9.2 on my laptop, I used LZ's tutorial from here:

http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=5494

and did this:

[root@localhost omar]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "TOSHIBA", "Wireless LAN Card", "Version 01.01", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
no product info available

 

and added this to /etc/pcmcia/config:

card "2412LAN Ethernet"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"

 

and it worked. Since then, I installed Gentoo over my MDK install, didn't like it and reinstalled 9.2. Well, now I can't get the wireless card to even show up anywhere. I get this:

[root@localhost omar]# cardctl ident
no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
[root@localhost omar]# modprobe yenta_socket
[root@localhost omar]# modprobe pcmcia_core
[root@localhost omar]# modprobe ds
[root@localhost omar]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
 no product info available
Socket 1:
 no product info available

 

And the ethernet card does not show up in harddrake. On my original install, it shoewd up in harddrake even before adding the stuff to /etc/pcmcia/config. I've tried just adding the stuff into /etc/pcmcia/config that I got before, but still nothing happens. Any ideas besides reinstalling and hoping it works again?

My Solution:

 

Installed pcmcia-cs

[root@localhost omar]# urpmi pcmcia-cs
pcmcia-cs-3.2.4-2mdk.i586 ######################### [100%]

 

Edited /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia per instructions from here

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=do_scan=1
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=-f

 

Reboot (not sure if this is necessary, but thought so since the file is in /etc/sysconfig)

 

Finish by following LZ's instructions.
