Hi, I have a problem getting an Netgear WG511 recognized by the system. I had this problem with FC2 and have it still after i installed FC3 FC3 found the PCMCIA Card and installed the prism54 drivers and tries to start them during the boot. For me it looks like a problem on the PCMCIA/hotplug side Here are some error Messages when i try to do an modprobe prism54: Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #0:2000@e5008000 for 0000:06:00.0 Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2 Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:06:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:06:00.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: prism54: PCI device memory region not configured; fix your BIOS or CardBus bridge/drivers Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: prism54: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -5 I even tried to install ndiswrapper. After compiling and installing it i configured it with the windows driver for this card. Modprobe ndiswrapper brought nearly the same error message: Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.12 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:06:00.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: PCI: Unable to reserve mem region #1:1000@e5008000 for device 0000:06:00.0 Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: netwg511: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -16 Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: ndiswrapper: driver netwg511 (NETGEAR,04/06/2004, 2.1.22.0) added During the boot i get the following messages regard PCMCIA/Cardbus: Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] enabled at IRQ 9 Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: PCI: setting IRQ 9 as level-triggered Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:01.0[A] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:01:01.0 [1217:6933] Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Yenta O2: res at 0x94/0xD4: ea/00 Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Yenta O2: enabling read prefetch/write burst Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x00b8, PCI irq 9 Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Socket status: 30000410 Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:01.1[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:01:01.1 [1217:6933] Jan 17 01:02:27 kernel: Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x00b8, PCI irq 11 This is what lspci -v shows for the PCMCIA-Controller and the NIC: 01:01.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.
