Guest lpe404 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Running Mandrake 10 dual boot with Windows 98SE. I was able to add a wireless PCMCIA card (Linksys WPC11 v3) and got it configured and working (MCC autodetected it - it was great). Worked for about a week and now Mandrake is not detecting the card (I don't even get lights on the card). I know the card still works becaused it works when I boot Windows 98. One minute everything was great, and the next boot it's not detecting the card. I've reviewd the syslog and I don't see anything funky from the last shutdown that it was working. When I boot now I see the following in syslog: pcmcia: Starting PCMCIA services: pcmcia: cardmgr[572]: no sockets found pcmcia: done. I've tried stopping and restarting the pcmcia service, but no luck. I've tried another pcmcia card (which I know is working), but it doesn't detect that either. Looking at other posts I've tried: cd /etc/init.d/pcmcia status returns: cardmgr is stopped The laptop is a IBM Thinkpad i1300. I'm guessing cardmgr is hosed in some way, but I dont know how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Try (as root) service network restart And see if that helps. What kernel are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lpe404 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I was searching another forum and I tried this fix and it works. modprobe yenta_socket cardmgr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 ah yes. Forgot about that. You'll want to add that to /etc/modules.preload as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanjoTEKE Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 That other thread was about me... I have a Dell Inspiron 3800 with Mandrake 10 and teh OCMCIA service hangs on boot... works on the initial install then NOTHING... Put the "modprobe yenta_socket" then this line "services pcmcia restart" on startup and iot should fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest edbe Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I found the solution when I submitted this bug on Mandrakesoft Bugzilla. Just add yenta_socket and cardmgr (on the line below!) in /etc/modprobe.preload (as root), like this: yenta_socket cardmgr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drdavis Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Thank you very much guys <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wanted to pass along that this worked for a Belkin F5D6020 card in a Gateway laptop also (Mandrake 10.0). As soon as I did a shorewall stop everything is fine. Thanks for the info, I would never have gotten here myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
