Compaq 2140us pcmcia

[bmundy]

Does anyone have PCMCIA working on this notebook? I have looked everywhere and in every distro imaginable trying to find one that will work. You'd think PCMCIA is the same on all notebooks, I mean a Serial port is a Serial port, right?? Why not the same with PCMCIA? I can understand if a particular card isn't supported, but the whole port....Gimme a break. If you can't tell I'm a little bitter about this whole thing. If anyone has any suggestions it would be great.

how 'bout you run a 'dmesg' and paste the output?

I have a 2130 (presario 710US) and it works great.

Different laptops use different pcmcia/cardbus controllers, it's entirely possible that yours is either unsupported or there's a conflict. A dmesg will give enough information to tell.
