Dell Latitude CPx Xircom pcmcia card problem.

Hi.
I have recently received an old Dell Latitude CPx laptop. i have added to it an old Xircom RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100+ Modem 56.
after the installation,when booting, during the start-up of networking, i get the following message:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
are there any known solutions to this problem?
or will i have to swap Ethernet cards?
thank you in advance

1. Is the card recognized? Run lspci
2. What is the output of ifconfig -a? Does it show up as an interface?
3. Do you have it coming up by default in networking settings?

  • Lync 2013 and Dell Latitude 7240 Window 8.1 Problem! Please help SOS

    Hi guys,
    Can anyone know the solution for my current problem with Lync is frozen and crashes when I start my video call. I have brand new Dell Latitude 7240 with Window 8.1 and Lync 2013. I have tried so many different suggestion from different forums and update
    my Lync as well. However, the problem is still there :(
    I have been experiencing this problem for almost 2 months. It would be great to get my Lync works with video call. I tested the camera both internal and external camera as well. They works fine with Skype, ect...But not with Lync
    Thanks in advance!!!

    HI
    I have seen 100 % laptops of dell which has issue with Lync, I tried to raise this Dell  as per them is issue with Lync and even Mircrosoft global team said it dell laptop drivers issue, Some of the cases has been resolved by uninstalling Audio/video
    drivers. but not for every laptop.

  • PCMCIA card problem; bus not working -- connection to logic board was loose

    The PCMCIA WiFi adapter on my good ol' TiBook recently stopped working all of a sudden. (OS X wasn't automatically recognizing the adapter as it used to, and the power LED on the card itself wasn't lighting up.) I thought the adapter itself was broken, but discovered the problem was with the slot itself after trying a brand new adapter in the slot.
    I came across this post by user "eww" that ended up fixing the problem in less than a minute. As eww had said:
    ...Check to make sure your PCMCIA card cage's connection to the logic board hasn't worked loose, as they sometimes do. Release the keyboard (instructions are in your owner's manual) and flip it gently back onto the wrist rest. Look for a brown tab under the normal position of the D and X keys. That's the card cage's connector to the logic board. Press it down firmly; if it moves or clicks at all, it was loose and probably not making good contact. Test again after returning the keyboard to its place.
    This worked perfectly for me. I'm posting it here so hopefully it can benefit someone else with the same problem I had. Thank you, eww!

    Hi, Mihira. You're quite welcome. It's always nice to hear that an old post continues to be useful.

  • PCMCIA card problem

    I've been using a Sandisk 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter with SD cards for a few months with no problem until now. Today my PB wouldn't read a SD card if I used the Adapter. When I put the card in my camera and connected there was no problem. I tried several cards all with the same outcome
    What do you think? Is this a PB problem or a Sandisk adapter problem?

    I have determined that the only cards that don't load are Sandisk UltraII 1 GB SD cards, though it's strange because they have worked before. Are these readers really unstable? I'm open to suggestions or recommendations for other readers. I've also written to Sandisk to see what they say.

    Hi,
    A quick Google search indicates that 3Com XJAEM3336 Mac drivers were available for at least some PowerBook computers. However, it is unclear to me whether the files here are needed, appropriate or sufficient in your case. Perhaps you could look further into this.
    If you cannot locate a suitable Ethernet PC Card with Mac drivers, another solution could possibly be to use a 16-bit wireless card (typically, 802.11b speed and WEP security). See, for example, this web page.

  • Xircom CEM2 PCMCIA Card

    I came into 'good fortune' with an older Toshiba laptop, drawback is... no ethernet. It came with a Xircom PCMCIA Type III card and the ethernet port on that broke, so I bought a Xircom CEM2 PCMCIA Type II card off of eBay.
    Right now my good fortune isn't so good. My RAM went out, one stick at a time, waiting on replacements, then my USB port went out (gives power, but fails to recognize devices on any OS). CD-ROM went out, so I purchased a DVD drive, some discs read OK, but since I have 64MB of RAM now I get kernel panics, so I've got to go light. All these parts are ordered, so I figured now would be a good time to troubleshoot this old new network card / modem.
    All mini distros (DSL, Puppy, Tiny Core) pick up *A* PCMCIA module that seems to be the right one, but the ETH0 fails to start and apparently I'm not the only one having issues with this card. Even Windows XP has problems with it, and according to the EOL support documents the last supported OSes are Windows 98/NT/DOS. With a card this old and OSes that are somewhat modern, it shouldn't be this difficult should it?

    I've never had any luck with Xircom cards.  I've had 2 or three from the same era as your hardware and even under Windows they were a beast to get to work. 
    Our of curiosity, why exactly are you spending this much cash on an ancient laptop?  I have 2 dell laptops here from a similar era (early 2000's) but both work fine so I've had no cause to complain nor am I likely to spend any money on them either.  Aside from that, the only reason I've kept them is to experiment on them and I don't do that very often right now...pity.

  • Aironet and Dell Latitude problems

    We have 3 access points, 2 1121s and a 350. All three are configured identically, using IOS and with 2 user vlans, one configured with WPA/WPA2 and LEAP, and the other with 128-bit WEP. Both VLANs are also doing MAC authentication to an ACS 3.3 server.
    Our Dell Latitude D610 laptops with Intel 2200BG wireless built-in can authenticate fine to both of the 1121 APs, but not to the 350. Has anyone seen anything like this, and do you have any suggestions for getting this to work with the 350? The 350 works fine when a client with a Cisco card connects. Thanks.

    I have a 600m which is the same chasis as the latitude d600. I also have the same wireless chipset. One of things I have found about the intel wireless is with droping connections both at work and home. Work we use 1200's wireless g cisco Aironets. Intel recognizes the problem and has resolved it with new drivers and software available at their site. since then I have not had any issues.

  • Using Dell Latitude D630 with Windows 7 and Adobe CS6 - PCMCIA hardware accelerators?

    I have a separate thread going using the hardware accelleration that comes with the Intel Mobile 965 Express Chipset not working
    for me, and trying to figure out how to get OpenGL and 3d features of Photoshop CS6 to work.
    So, I was thinking maybe a work-around.  Are there supported PCMCIA card graphics accelerators that anyone could recommend
    that would work with Windows 7 and interface via PCMCIA that meet the requirements to be used with Adobe CS6?

    A Dell Latitude 630 isn't enough machine to do what you want to do, I owned one. Geerks.com had a great laptop today for 379.

  • Dell Latitude X300 screen problem

    Hello everyone, I recently installed Archlinux on my 2nd computer, a Dell Latitude X300.
    Everything just works fine, the only problem atm I have is that when I close my screen over keyboard for a couple of minutes and then re-open it, it displays something very strange : http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/66/p1905092212.jpg
    Please help me to solve this problem, thank you very much.

    I have something similar on my dell latitude d400.
    I don't know how to fix it.
    What I do when this happens is simple ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to no-x, then alt+f1 to return to x. Stoneage solution but works.
    If anyone knows how to get rid of this bug permanently, I'm glad to know it too.

  • Problem inserting PCMCIA card

    I have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA card, and for the life of me, I cannot get it into the PCMCIA slot.  I've tried both the top and bottom every direction and way I can think of.  It simply won't insert.  Any advice?

    Hi Stieffers,
    Welcome to the Lenovo forum 
    I know just what you mean about the PC card slot... it is *stiff* when new. And the connector may be ever so slightly mis-aligned with the slot. I had the same problem with a different (eSATA) PC Card, I thought I was going crazy! Anyway: the slot you want is the bottom one. Try (gently) pulling up (or possibly pushing down) on the end of your PC Card as you insert it. Don't break anything... but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to insert it. It will get easier on subsequent insertions.
    Good luck!

  • Wifi prism pcmcia card and problems with ctrl module insert

    hi
    probably until initrd based kernel i can't control what module for my pcmcia wireless card zcom 325h will be used.
    i think the process inserting modules for pcmcia devices is maintined by tools from pcmcia-cs pkg.
    devices assigned to drivers via manfid are in /etc/pcmcia/config and in name order included /etc/pcmcia/*.conf
    but when was hostap driver moved from own package into the kernel package the /etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf was removed and now i don't know how to disallow to load this ugly module after pcmcia card inserting
    i would like to use orinoco_cs instead.
    thanks for any help

    Hello,
    I am owner of AR8131 which runs with atl1c without problems.
    Unfortionally it seems that module does not have any optional parameters so i guess it wont be "easy" fix.
    hits:
    check your bios for "NET AI" or w/e named function that checks for bad cabels ( got many problems in the past with nvidia cards if i remember correct with those type of functions )
    In any case wish ya luck

  • Dell Latitude 3540 switchable graphics problems

    I have a Dell Latitude 3540 with Intel 4400 and AMD 8850m. I originally had the open source drivers installed but i decided to install catalyst. I installed catalyst-total-pxp from the AUR. My X server wont start with the xorg.conf that is generated by aticonfig --initial. The x server will boot without an xorg.conf but Cinnamon won't load but LXDE will and I can't run Minecraft or any Steam games. glxinfo gives this output
    name of display: :0

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Re-installed and it worked, I think it was poorly linked libgl files.

  • Unable to install MAX on Dell Latitude D600 notebook

    I am trying to install NI-DAQ 6.9.2 on a Dell Latitude D600 notebook running Windows XP SP1. I have full local administrator privileges for this PC.
    The notebook will be used to develop software for a test rig, but the rig will actually use a desktop PC fitted with a PCI-1200 card (so I cannot try NI-DAQ 7.1 as this does not support the PCI-1200 card).
    Notebook specification is as follows :
    1.4GHz Pentium M CPU, 512Mb RAM, 3Gb free disk space, anti-virus disabled.
    Start NI-DAQ 6.9.2 setup.
    Selected the following features :
    NI-DAQ 6.9.2 Device Driver (default)
    NI-DAQ OPC Server (default)
    Microsoft Visual Basic Support
    NI-DAQ appeared to install OK.
    Re-booted without any DAQ device.
    NI-DA
    Q documentation installation started and completed OK.
    Configure Measurement and Automation System (MAX) started.
    Always get error message "Unable to open a connection to the server..." (see attached file)
    Unable to rename or delete the "config.mxs" file (as suggested in the error dialog) - Windows always reports "Access is denied", even immediately after re-booting.
    Tried installing a PCMCIA DAQCard-700 then running MAX setup, got same error message. (Windows recognised the DAQCard-700 OK, listed in "device manager" as "working correctly").
    Tried version 6.9.3 of NI-DAQ, but still unable to install MAX.
    Please tell me how to get MAX to install under Windows XP SP1 !!

  • Airport Extreme update to 7.6.3 orphans my Dell Latitude D620

    Anyone else experiencing this?
    I dutifully upgraded my Airport Extreme to 7.6.3 from 7.6.1 as instructed by my computer.
    This is the latest version of the Airport Extreme - simultaneous dual band, etc. Purchased a few weeks ago.
    My Dell Latitude D620 will no longer connect properly to the network.  The "DW WLAN Card Utility" shows that it is sending packets, but not receiving them. The signal strength is strong, as expected and normal.
    I've ensured that all updates on the Dell are installed. The hardware is a "Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card", original and internal to the unit. The driver is 5.60.18.9
    All other devices (laptops, iphones, Apple TV, etc. - including a more 'modern' Dell laptop) are working fine both before and after the update to 7.6.3.
    This worked perfectly prior to the update to 7.6.3. So with considerable trouble, I reverted to 7.6.1, and the laptop could connect again.  Upgrading a second time to 7.6.3 and the problem reappears.
    If anyone has any ideas on this before I junk my trusty old Dell laptop, please let me know!

    Did anyone ever found a solution to this?
    I upgraded Airport Extreme to 7.6.4 and the Dell D620 is having problem connecting.  Sometime it connects but no Internet access.  I have 2 other none Dell laptops and Iphone 4.  They all work with the Airport router.  Just the Dell that having an issue.
    Is reverting back to 7.6.1 the only solution?
