Checking resources

**Lectraplayer** · 11-07-2004, 06:14 PM

How do I check the resources used by a device? I have a PCMCIA card that I can't get working. I see it under cat /proc/pci, but have yet to find how to check my resources to see where it's used at. The laptop in question is an IBM Thinkpad 380XD running SuSE 9.1, and only the PCMCIA is giving me dificulty. I see no drivers on IBM.com for Linux.

What does this card do? Ethernet card perhaps?

The PCMCIA hardware, so I can access my ethernet card. No PCMCIA, nothing accessible past it.

Do you have the pcmcia packages installed? there should be at least two. They should be in the software browser under system, kernel and hardware.

I believe so (but maybe not, had to use another system to install on this hard disk). What are they called under SuSE 9.1?

That was it. Since I got my PCMCIA and my LAN card working, I now am trying to get the network setup going. Lemme do some more probing there, as I can ping both systems all day. I may come back and ask how I can use Samba to access files on a Windows system, and grab files from my Linux system from my Windows machine (but that's still down the road a little, unless I find it.)

That is normally the problem

Back to the game... I now want to check the resources used by a joystick that no drivers seems to exist for (nYko Airflo PC), and nYKo has no drivers there either. It uses "Windows Standard Drivers". How would I check the resources used by this joystick so as I can get it working?
