Topic: Linksys WRT54G3G / pcmcia problem

The content of this topic has been archived on 29 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I previously opened this thread in "Developers only" but i'm switching to Kamikaze now. I've added a post to that thread with a link to this one to notify people the discussion is continued here. Hereby I apologise for this naughty dubble post.

I quote from the previous thread:

"I have a Linksys WRT54G3G and I'm trying to get a pcmcia card to work with it. The card in this case is a Option GT Fusion+. It has a by operator customized firmware and I've been unable to obtain it's default firmware.

I've installed OpenWRT 0.9 and installed all the required packages I found so far.

The problem I currently have, occurs directly on card-insertion. From dmesg:

cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x11ab, device 0x1faa
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 0(40010000-40007fff) for 02:00.0
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 1(40010000-40007fff) for 02:00.0
PCI: Enabling device 02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 0(40010000-40007fff) for 02:00.1
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 1(40010000-40007fff) for 02:00.1
PCI: Enabling device 02:00.1 (0000 -> 0002)
PCI: Enabling device 02:00.2 (0000 -> 0002)"

(end of quote)

The resource allocations seem a bit weird to me but then again, while I am a developer, I've never allocated even one bit of memory manually.

On insertion of a old Option GT pcmcia card I get "cs: memory probe 0x40004000-0x40007fff: clean." in dmesg. Which matches some pcmcia patch. (004-pcmcia_resources.patch => +include memory 0x40004000-0x40007fff).

Now don't shoot me, but I haven't tried kamikaze yet. I'll start building it now and try it this afternoon. Still I don't think the kamikaze build will solve my issue.

If anyone has some comments on this, please let me know. I'll keep posting my findings until then.

Thanks in advance,
Eric van Blokland
