Fedora Hardware :: Re-initialise PCMCIA Or USB Device?
Feb 23, 2010
OK, so my laptop has defunct USB ports. I always did think it was a foolish idea to stick them all on the sides.
I workaround this problem with a PCMCIA USB card however, the device (USB modem) keeps cutting out.Sometimes I can get it working again by unplugging it and plugging it back in, but sometimes I can't.If I unplug the actual card, it doesn't seem to recognise it at all when I plug it back in.I don't like plugging it in and out anyway because it will wear it out.
So is there a way to get the machine to double check the device, or to dismount and remount through software easily?

I've just installed Xubuntu 10.10 on a ThinkPad R50e and on a R51. I want to get them working as fast as possible. Of cause, all updates are done and all codecs for gstreamer have been installed, too.
Parole Media Player tells me to not be able to initialise Xv output, so no video appears on screen.
Then I've started to search for the cause of trouble. Seems to be an Intel grafics adaptor handled by the Vesa module, which I don't know how to change to the correct Intel module (which is installed, by the way).
I've googled for this issue and found few other people talking about. But there was no solution, at least none that I could understand.
Now, I would be really glad if you could help me to find a working solution during the next few days.
Code:
~$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present
Code:
~$ lspci

I`m unable to mount my second hard drive I use to store my music and pics and wonder if it is to do with the error "failed to initialise HAL!" which I get every time I start Debian Lenny (AMD64 architecture). I have had this since doing an install (fresh) a few hours ago.
The drive is an ntfs one but when I click its icon in the computer section it says it cannot mount it and gparted says it cannot read the file system.If so how would I get the error box to stop appearing and how do I mount the ntfs drive?

Older laptop I just upgraded to FC13. I would like to use a Dlink DWL-650 pcmcia card. The system sees it.
#iwlist wlan0 scanning
Cell 01, mac, chan, freq and everything else for my base router
Cell 02, same thing for my extender unit
ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:88:AA:AA:AC
inet6 addr: fe80::20d:88ff:feaa:aaac/64 Scope:Link
[Code]...
ifcfg-wlan0 is set for DHCP. Notice above no IP. If ifcfg is given an IP/mask still no IP. So it seems to be up and running, just not accessible.

I am trying to pin point the problem I am having with my wifi card which used to work just fine with F13 and after installation of F14 it hangs my OS.
Fedora hangs when card is inserted and if it is inserted at a boot time, fedora hangs at starting udev.
I attached my messages log file but I think there is no info in there.
About log:
I have some strange problem with my bios, cause every time i restart my laptop it always has same time and date so you should ignore repeating time and date on reboots
at line 1 i turned on pc
at line 580 it finishes shuting down i issued with reboot
at line 581 it is starting up again
at line 1140 i inserted the pcmcia wifi card, and there is nothing there
you can see that at next line 1141 system is rebooted and log file is started again

I am trying to make a d-link dwl-650+ pcmcia card work through ndiswrapper method following the direction at:[URl]... The first step there is to install the "kmod-ndiswrapper" via yum.
But, how would I just download this package to a usb drive so that I can transfer it to the laptop that needs wireless networking. Is there an option in yum where I can just download the package, not intstall, so that I can save it somewhere?

I have a Toshiba a105-s2236 laptop and am trying to install Fedora 14. Is there any way to tell Fedora not to look for the pcmcia slots on boot? My live CD is freezing at the point where it tries to probe the pcmcia socket IO port.
I tried adding the 3 to get to a console, but that fails as well. I had to add acpi=off to the kernel boot args to even get it to go this far.
Even using the nopcmcia option, it still tries to probe the socket's IO port.

I have Lucent Technologies Orinoco Silver 11 Mbps PCMCIA wifi card. It worked perfectly in Fedora 10, but after updating to Fedora 11 it stopped finding any wireless networks. The updating were done with automatic updating utility. The card works perfectly in Windows, I tested it today.
My laptop is HP nx6110 if that matters.
Here is the situation:
When I plug-out the card, the Network Manager disables wireless networking as it should. When I plug-in the card, wireless networking is enabled, so the system seems to recognize the card in some way.
If I try to connect to "Hidden wireless network" (because there isn't any wireless networks listed in the Network Manager) system tries to connect for a couple of minutes, and then asks wireless settings again. Orinoco card's lights DOESN'T blink normally when connecting to the network (one light should blink rapidly and one should light continuously, but both are blinking rarely or doesn't blink at all).
In System->Administration->Network in tab Hardware (hope those names are correct, I use Finnish version of Fedora...) is:
It seems that the card is detected right.
Here is what I have done to get the problem solved: In System->Administration->Network I have tried to connect to the wireless network manually (disabling the Network Manager). I can't get the connection. It gives me random error messages, sometimes "Check the cable" or something like that, sometimes just timeouts IP determination.
I have tried to connect different wireless networks, no connection. All tested networks worked with another computer.
No matter if I reboot or service network restart or plug-out plug-in the card... the problem still appears.
Tried to find (and reinstall) drivers:
Code:
No Matches found
Code:
Here is the output of lspci. The output is the same if the wifi card is connected or not.
Code:
LAN connection is working just fine.

- boot into xen kernel
- run a zypper update
My current configuration is:

I am working on an embedded system, which is an USB MSC device that supports some vendor specific scsi commands. I am using FC10 laptop as USB host for testing, and it runs some small apps based on sg3. All has been well for ~ a week. The FC10 laptop is able to communicate with the device and retrieve data. Suddenly, starting from today, the laptop is not able to properly detect the device. When plugged-in, the MSC device is detected as input device (I thought). This is observed from "dmesg" output and changes in "/dev/input/".The device under development is running at full speed. When I connect to winXP, no problem. A windows file explorer pops up, showing the content of the drive.Also, the FC10 has no problem with other USB flash drive (high speed).

I installed ZTE MF 626 modem in my F10 with kernel 2.6.27.12-170, i run usb_modeswitch and so far things happened normally. Watching through /var/log/messages it says that F10 detects two port device for this modem: ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2, and in the sequence it disable port ttyUSB1 BUT Network Manager still set this port.I mean, when i connect via wvdial appointing to ttyUSB2 i get connection, but Network Manager fails to do it appointing to ttyUSB1. How to change device port in Network Manager?

Running Fedora 13, I cannot add my HP J4680 through the HP Device Manager. I get an error message saying that the print queue cannot be started and it asks me to restart CUPS. I tried restarting CUPS and adding the device. It did not work. The printer is on my home network wirelessly. I can add it through the CUPS web interface and print, but then I cannot access the scanner. I tried adding the device after it was already added through CUPS, but that did not work. I would like to use the scanner; I don't really care about the fax.

I have an old laptop (P3, 192 RAM) with Windows XP installed on it, but it is sooo slow, I decided to switch to Lubuntu. However, I cannot figure out how to enable the PCMCIA card after a fresh Lubuntu install.

I am having problems with linux (2.6.32.9), pcmciautils (017) getting to recognise my PCMCIA card. The card is a Netgear MA401 and the module it should load is the orinoco_cs. It is an ISA->PCMCIA bridge using the i82365, and I've only got this one PCMCIA card to test things with.
The card is not recognised.
What does work is that the system recognises cards being inserted/ejected. However, the cards are not recognised (other than the card type/volts etc) ...

I've been using a Linksys WPC54G v1 wireless adapter with my old laptop (via Ndiswrapper) but it has died on me and I need to replace it. I've been looking at sites like Amazon and Newegg but of course there is no Linux support info there and some devices, and at least one manufacturer, aren't even in the HCL so no there. does anyone have any recommendations for a PCMCIA type wireless b/g adapter that will work with this system:
Toshiba A15-S129
Dual boot XP SP3 and Topologilinux 6.0 (Slackware based)
Kernel 2.6.14.2
Frankly I'd really like a drop-in replacement for my old card, but I doubt that's going to happen. (Considering there are, apparently, at least 7 different versions of that card now.) So I'll take what I can get. I'd prefer PCMCIA over USB.

Just completed installing Xubuntu 9.04 to my old Dell Latitude CPi and it seems to be working quite well. However I need to assign interface eth0 to my pcmcia network card (as opposed to eth1 or eth2). I have two cards to try out. One of them comes up as eth1 and the other as eth2. There is no eth0 listed when I run ifconfig -a. There is no built-in network cards on the laptop, so I don't know why it won't assign eth0 to either of the cards.
how to assign eth0 to either of the two PCMCIA network cards.

I've seen some notes on the net on recognising wireless in Ubuntu but this is a very lengthy process...

I have an old PCMCIA card and I would like to use in a newly installed centos5.6. I want to use, but I do not know how. ifconfig-a does not return the card details. I can see the pci devices both the controller and the PCMCIA card as well. I read, I have to load the kernel module yenta to use the pcimcia card, but I couldn't. The /sbin/modprobe -l | grep "yenta" does not return anything, and do not have either of these modules in library
(find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ | grep yenta)
How I can move forward welcome, or where should I start to search or indeed whether the card can support? How to config PCMCIA Card at CentOS5 now?

I had this PCMCIA USB 2.0 card that worked in Lenny when I put this laptop into my closet in late 2009. I brought it back out a few weeks ago and put a fresh install of Squeeze on it, and it does not recognize the card. dmesg says something about "ignoring the device" (sorry, I don't have the machine in front of me).
Laptop in question is a Toshiba Tecra 8000. The PCMCIA card... has no brand on it whatsoever. I thought I had the box somewhere, but I have been unable to find it.

I was trying to get a card to work well with linux. I searched compatibility lists and found the NetGear WG511T to appear good. I got one and when I insert the device, Linux never sees it. In Windows, it appears like normal and drivers install. In OpenSUSE 11.3, the device is never recognized; no lights turn on, not listed under iwconfig, or networkmanager. I've installed the madwifi drivers, but they dont help since the computer never sees the device itself (to install drivers). Is there anything special I need to do to get the device recognized by the system?
