Hi All,
After the earlier 'Spot The Cockup' contest where I accidentally said
Windows instead of Linux (it was the second attempt at sending the mail
and I was getting aggravated), here goes:
I had to reinstall Xandros after the laptop was returned from a repair
and I'm having a nightmare getting the wireless back. This model
doesn't have inbuilt so I'm using the PCMCIA (Cardbus) slot. Here's
what I have so far:
Fix mouse (since it won't work natively and the BIOS doesn't have an
option to disable Legacy USB)
Boot laptop in Expert Mode
enter root password at prompt
cd /etc/init.d
vi kdm
add the line -
rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse
towards the beginning.
Exit from vi ( :w then :q)
'Exit' to continue boot process
The mouse will be started before every graphical session. This works fine.
Fix cardbus
As root:
cd /etc/pcmcia
vi config.opts
add the lines include port 0x3000-0x7fff, memory 0xe8100000-0xe97fffff
:w and :q to exit
cd /etc/init.d
vi cardbus [to make a new file]
enter the lines -
setpci -s 0:a.0 SUBORDINATE_BUS=0A
cardctl eject
cardctl insert
- into the new file
save and exit with :w and :q
chmod the new file with
chmod 755 cardbus
make a symlink to the new file with:
cd /etc/rc5.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/cardbus /etc/rc5.d/S20pcmcia-cardbus
Rebooted. Now according to what I know, the cardbus card should now
show up in lspci, but it doesn't. I've also tried making a symlink in
/etc/rc3.d as there is something nagging my head about Debian based
distros using3 instead of 5, but I could be wrong on that... very easily
:) Wireless does come up if I run the script manually, ie;
cd /etc/init.d
./cardbus
So I know the script itself is correct.
Have I missed a step somewhere?
Kind regards,
Julian
