I've also got an LXi that I want to get working, but I've also got video issues there. (The really frustrating thing is that I once had video working, but seem to have failed to save all the changes necessary.) >I think now you would also have to try disabling the Cardbus support >and only use the i82365 PCMCIA code by > > pccard0=disabled Peter Bosch also suggested this. It seems to have made some improvement in that it does seem to think it is properly configuring an interrupt for the slot. However, I still have no joy in getting communication. I've tried both letting it select the irq itself and setting a few combinations (including the ones you suggested). Unfortunately, the symptoms are still the same. The DHCP server sees the discover and sends an offer. Reading the /net/ether0/stats file shows that we've received packets. But there's no evidence that ipconfig ever saw anything. However, now that I know the right driver to look at, I'll try to find some time to dig a little deeper. >If I remember correctly, that laptop only had Cardbus in one slot, the >other was PCMCIA only. To be honest, I don't really know the difference. It does seem to be reporting the same controller for both slots. Thanks again, Brian L. Stuart
