I have a toshiba 480CDT with docking station.
I need to be able to use atleast 3 of the 4 pcmcia sockets that the machine has (2 in laptop, 2 in docking station). In this machines previous life as a windows machine they all worked.
Under mandrake 8.2 I can't seem to get the pcmcia startups to see these 2 extra ports on the docking station. The 2 on the laptop itself work fine.
I have hunted around on the internet and have found a few things about pcmcia services.
Firstly, my machine makes us of a standard i82365 controller. As such there is a web site that listed the extra parameters for this module.
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/man/i82365.4.html
On this page it says to :
['extra_sockets=n
A flag indicating if the driver should probe for as many as eight ISA sockets, or stop after checking for four sockets. The default is 0 (stop at four sockets). Systems with two independent ISA-to-PCMCIA controllers (say, one internal and one in a docking station) may require this flag to be set, even though they have a total of only four sockets. If this flag is set, then poll_interval will automatically be enabled. ']
Now, in the /etc/init.d/pcmcia there is a section that checks the dist of linux it is running on. As mandrake is much like red hat it runs the /etc/sysconig/pcmcia to put a few environment variables into memory before executing the "insmod" commands.
To add that extra parameter "extra_sockets" i edit /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia and put in ['PCIC_OPTS="extra_sockets=1"'].
But when the machine boots I don't seen to even try and scan 4 sockets.
