PCMCIA modem (v.90 X2) not working with 2.4.0-test12 PCMCIA services

PCMCIA modem (v.90 X2) not working with 2.4.0-test12 PCMCIA services

[Miles Lane]

Hi,

I have built my test12 kernel with the following options:

CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
CONFIG_I82365=y

CONFIG_PNP=y
CONFIG_ISAPNP=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_SERIAL_CS=m
CONFIG_PCMCIA_SERIAL_CB=m

I have the 3.1.22 version of David Hinds' PCMCIA installed.
It didn't build the drivers, since the package is configured to
use the kernel's drivers.

dmesg shows:

"cardctl ident" shows:

My modem is not one of the default supported devices,
so I added a device entry in /etc/pcmcia/config:

    card "V90"
    manfid 0x018a, 0x0001
    bind "serial_cs"

The modem is model PN610-X2 (a 56K V.90 PCMCIA Fax-Modem)
made by Hawking Technology.  It's a 16-bit, PCMCIA 2.1-compliant,
Type II PC Card.

Have you tried, or could you try, using this card under a 2.2 kernel
for comparison?

Also, the first thing I'd try would be to exclude the irq 3, port
0x3e8-0x3ef resources in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to verify that it is
not a resource conflict of some sort.

Now I have another report of this card not working, under 2.2.
Perhaps it is a Winmodem?

What host bridge is in the 765D?  Is it perhaps a TI 1131 rev 1, or
something else?  Also, try adding:

  module "3c575_cb" opts "down_poll_rate=0"

to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and see if that makes any difference.

David, 

On a related topic, the 3c575_cb driver on an IBM Thinkpad 765D is getting
tx errors on the 2.2.18 kernel with PCMCIA services 3.1.22.

Card is a 3Com 3CCFE575BT Cyclone Cardbus Adapter.

Error is:

eth0:  transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.
  diagnostics net 0cc2 media a800 dma 000000a0

Windows NT 4 and W2K work flawlessly with the same hardware setup, and have
for about 1 year.

Adding this does not fix the problem, but does cause a little more
error info to get printed.  Now in addition to the original message,
I am also seeing:

eth0: Tx ring full, refusing to send buffer.

Looks like some type of interrupt problem.  I am available to assist 
you in debugging this problem.

I do not have a solution.  I have a few reports of tx timeout problems
that I have so far been unable to reproduce.  It is a sufficiently
nonspecific outcome that I don't have any good ideas for how to track
down the problem; all my attempts so far have come up blank.

If you have a mailing address, I can overnight the laptop computer to you
provided you agree to return it after you run down the problem.
