G patch PCMCIA problem

I just installed the G patch onto my Toshiba TE2000 which previously worked
fine with a 3 Com 3C589 pcmcia card as a second LAN.
When I booted up I was surprised to find that the driver “Can’t attach to
pccard” any more.
I have also tried replacing the 3C589 with a Socket LP-E card with equally
bad luck.

pin utility sees both cards
nettrap sometimes finds an NE1000 with the LP-E installed, but no luck when
starting Net.ether1000

I have been using this Toshiba TE2000 with the 3C589 for more than a year in
the office and on the road with no problem.
I really need this second LAN

Anyone know what happened to the PCMCIA in patch G???

New patch G includes several changes:

  • Net.ether1000
    Driver modified to work with new pccard driver
  • Net.ether589
    Driver modified to work with new pccard driver
  • pccard
    New pccard server
  • pc-pin
    New card status/checking utility
  • etc. …

If you still want to use your pcmcia cards (3 Com 3C589/Socket LP-E)
replace Pcmcia.generic to new pccard server:

#slay Pcmcia.generic
#pccard -v &
#Net &
#Net.ether589 -v & (for 3 Com 3C589 card)

After this you can also use new card status utility to see current
configuration:

#pc-pin cis
#pc-pin config

etc.

Thanks, I hate it when the answer is in the release notes…

Unfortunately, it would seem that the Toshiba TE2000 is just not going to
allow any changes.
pc-pin shows 4 sockets (2 pairs of 2 sockets) all empty no matter what card
I use.

I have tried LP-E, Etherlink III, XIRCOM, NETGEAR cardbus.

This is, of course, worse than the results using Pcmcia.generic where all
but the NETGEAR could at least be seen.

I have reverted to the earlier Pcmcia* Net.* and I’m back in business – I
was hoping to get a 10/100 card working.

To run the new pccard server on a Toshiba notebook, you will need to go
into the BIOS and set up the PCCard to CardBus/16-bit. This is also in
the release notes! :slight_smile:
