realtek cardbus drive?

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. I just get a Realtek 8193-chip based cardbus NIC, the pccardd won't 
recognize it. I am on 4.8 RC2 on Thinkpad R30. Check the 
/etc/default/pccard.conf, I found no card is using the Realtek drive (rl0). 


I just checked out the newest /etc/default/pccard.conf, so far there isn't 
any card in it uses the rl. I thought I can simple write a pccard.conf 
file, so I
#pccardc dumpcis
Tuple: #1 code = 0xff (Terminator) Length = 0

So it seems the card don't have CIS.

Here is the INSTALL.TXT shipped with the card, perhaps is helpful. I have 
the shipped source code. It is a bit too larg (50K) for mailing list.

Realtek CardBus Ethernet Card Installation on Linux

1. Compile the source code :
 ->Copy the source code rtl8139.c (ver 1.08 above) to a directory
   and execute "gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes 
   -O6 -c rtl8139.c -o realtek_cb.o 
-I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.9/include/"
   The directory "pcmcia-cs-3.0.9" stands for the card service version you 
   use. Please change it to the version on your system in order to include 
   proper .h file. The final file is realtek_cb.o

2. Copy driver :
 ->Copy the file "realtek_cb.o" to "/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/pcmcia"

3. Edit config:
 ->Add 5 lines to the file "/etc/pcmcia/config"
   
   #
   # Device driver definitions
   #
  
   device "realtek_cb"					 (==>Add 1/5)
     class "network" module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb"   (==>Add 2/5)

   :

   #
   # CardBus Cards
   #

   card "Realtek CardBus Ethernet Card"			(==>Add 3/5)
     manfid 0x0000, 0x024C				(==>Add 4/5)
     bind "realtek_cb"					(==>Add 5/5)

   
   The values 0x0000, 0x024C are JEDEC ID and can be read by typing 
   "cardctl ident" on console with one card on socket.
	          

4. Edit linuxconf
 ->Type "linuxconf" and choose "Config"-->"Networking"-->"Client tasks"-->
   "Basic host information". Select an adapter, enable it, and type 
"realtek_cb"
   on "Kernel module" and "eth0" (or eth1, eth2) on "Net device". Click on 
   "Accept" button and "Act/change" button.
