On a Dell Inspiron 8200 Notebook with - dual boot - Suse 9.2 en
Windows 110g - XP i try to get my pcmcia card - Thomson Speedtouch
working. I tried to work with ndiswrapper , because i can't find Linux
drivers for this card. I tried the method suggest by Martijn on

http://www.xs4all.nl/~mtheunis/linux/speedtouch/speedtouch_en.html

but it did not work.

When i use ndiswrapper i get the followinf (error) messages:

linux:~ # ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
o4i01a hardware NOT present

linux:~ # ndiswrapper -m
modprobe config already contains alias directive


(the last maybe because i tried several times)

In the syslog i found:

Mar 15 18:24:36 linux kernel: ndiswrapper (setup_dev:1252): unable to
get mac ad
dress from driver
Mar 15 18:24:36 linux kernel: ndiswrapper (ndis_init_one_pci:1494):
Couldn't set
up interface
Mar 15 18:24:36 linux kernel: o4i01a.sys: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed
with erro
r -22


It seems he does not recognize the pcmcia card, though the pcmcia deamon
starts and restarts succesfully.

I tried cardctl and get this information:

linux:~ # cardctl ident
Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
no product info available
linux:~ # cardctl status
Socket 0:
3.3V CardBus card
function 0: [ready]


With Windows XP the card works without any problem.

Can someone give me some clues for the Suse 9.2 configuration?
