PCMCIA Realtek Ethernet card not detected

el_zoona · 2009-01-22 05:36:43

Hi, I'm trying to use a PCMCIA Etherner Card with Realtek chip.

If the card it's already plugged when booting, Udev takes 180000 ms to finish and the card doesn't work. If it's plugged while booted, dmesg shows that there's a "something" at SmartCardBus but, again, card doesn't get recognized.

"Ifconfig -a" shows nothing, and I know the card works 'cause I've tryed with an Ubuntu cd and the cards works perfect. I've looked for the modules, and 8139too & 8139cp where loaded, wich I've tryed in arch and still doesn't work, It also detects the same hardware with lspci (Arch detects the Cardbus but not the realtek card, Ubuntu detects both) and lspcmcia.

Ubuntu is using kernel 2.6.27-7 and Arch 2.6.28.

I've tryed loading: 8139too 8139cp pcmcia_core pcmcia yenta_socket rsrc_nonstatic

The bradcom is the original eth port wich I'm replacing because stop working long time ago (And I also tryed disabling it from BIOS, and it's the same).

I'm mising something that I should load or run? I've googled a lot, but people just plug the card and that's all :-P. Any idea would be welcomed :-).

EDIT: Fix title (PMCIA*)

Nevermind...It's Kernel 2.6.28...I'm a lucky guy, eh? :-(

Booted into Arch Overlod cd and a simple lspci show my shiny new card...Now i'm going to erase my hole system (it was new anyway) and check if a Suy breaks the drivers again. In that case, i should file a bug somewhere, right?

Thanks, I have an SMC EZ PCMCIA 10/100 card, and it also uses the realtek driver. I was wondering why internet wasn't detected.
