Comment 0 for bug 278350

exakt version of the kernel: 2.6.27-4-gerneric (Ubuntu 2.6.27-4.6-generic)

I am testing Intrepid on a fairly old Laptop without build-in network card, thus I use a Netgear FA411 Fast Ethernet PCMCIA network card. Under hardy it works like a charm (with every version of kernel that was ever present in hardy), no problems, works after suspend/resume and hibernate/resume, everything's fine. But under Intrepid it doesn't work. To be more specific: the driver refuses to drive the card claiming somebody else is responsible, but no other driver shows up, so the cards stays undriven.

The symptoms: the card's leds are on, ifconfig reports only loopback device, the gnome tool in the upper right-hand corner does not see a device.

I have the output of lspcmcia -vv under hardy and intrepid as well as the output of dmesg under both attached, the most interesting lines I cite:

lspcmcia -vv hardy:
Socket 1 Device 0: [pcnet_cs] (bus ID: 1.0)

lspcmcia -vv intrepid:
Socket 1 Device 0: [-- no driver --] (bus ID: 1.0)
