Problem: FC2, Dell Latitude CSx, Linksys PCM100 EtherFast 10/100 Integrated PC Card

[Mike Detwiler]

Hello,

I just upgraded my notebook from RH 7.2 to FC2 (kernel 
2.6.5-1.358). My Linksys PCM100 card worked fine with RH 
7.2, but when I boot to FC2 I get the following message:

pcnet_cs device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying 
initialization

I searched the list archives and found that others had 
similar problems, but none of the posted solutions seemed 
to apply to my situation. I'm not sure if all of the 
information listed below is relevant, but I'll list it in 
case it helps. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the 
time to help me out.

- The FC2 installation process appeared to recognize the 
card in that I was prompted for setup information and eth0 
was configured. system-config-network shows the following 
information on the hardware tab:

Description: pcnet_cs
Type: Ethernet
Device: eth0
Status: configured

- system-config-services shows a check next to pcmcia, but 
the status reads "cardmgr is stopped."

- entering "cardmgr -v" at the command line returns:

carmgr[4762]: no sockets found!

- hwbrowser shows the following information for 
PCMCIA/PC-Card devices:

Selected Device: PCI1225
Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
Driver: yenta_socket

(note: the PCI1225 entry appears twice in the Selected 
Device box; both entries have the Device Information 
listed above.)

- the following entry exists in /etc/pcmcia/config:

card "Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Fast Ethernet"
   version "Linksys", "Etherfast 10/100 Integrated PC Card 
(PCM100)"
   #manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab
