Hi,
I am using Senao NL-2511 CD PCMCIA card through a Ricoh RL5c475(II)
Cardbus Controller based *PCMCIA to PCI* converter.
The PC (a Pentium P3) is running Redhat 9 Linux (kernel version 2.4.20-8).
Also, I am using the external pcmcia-cs package ver. 3.2.8 (have disabled
kernel pcmcia/cardbus support), and HostAP version 0.3.7.
I set the values in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia as follows
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=0 pci_cac=0 poll_interval=100"
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=
When the machine is booted (along with the card) the driver is not loaded.
I do a 'modprobe hostap_cs' and then do a lsmod
[root at localhost root]# lsmod

3c59x 28240 1
ext3 61792 2
jbd 46612 2 [ext3]
and one can see hostap_cs is now loaded. However the card doesn't come on.
No lights, no beeps.
I am also attaching the value of lspci -vvv

Does anyone have insights into why card is not coming up? Any help will be
greatly appreciated.
