Description James Masson 2006-03-26 14:35:33 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:

None - tried with gentoo-sources 2.6.14 2.6.15-r1/r7 and 2.6.16-r1
Also tested with kernel.org 2.6.16
All have the same problem

Distribution: Gentoo Linux

Hardware Environment: 

HP nc4200 laptop - BIOS rev F.08 

02:06.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx21/x515 Cardbus Controller
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 0938
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 18



Software Environment: 

Gentoo Linux
2.6.14/15/16 Kernel

Problem Description:

An incorrect PCI device ID is reported for any Cardbus card inserted into the
cardbus slot.

Cisco wifi card - Atheros chipset

lspci -v reports (on HP nc4200)

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Unknown device 068c:0013 (rev 01)

for comparison purposes on a Dell Latitude D600 lspci -vn reports device ID of
168c:0013 as designed

similar result with a Zyxel Wifi card (prism54)

on HP nc4200, lspci -v reports 

03:00.0 Network controller: Unknown device 0260:3890 (rev 01)

on Dell D600, reports 1260:3890  as designed


Steps to reproduce:

Get an HP nc4200 ;-)
compile kernel with yenta + cardbus support (modules or inbuilt)
insert cardbus card
lspci -vn

To be honest, this looks like a hardware problem -- a line shorted to 0.
Can you test with, er, an entirely different OS?  Maybe one of the BSDs
if you can't stomach a M$ OS.

I'd be suspecting you have a busted machine - bad connector,
broken pin, blown IO buffer, etc.
Comment 6 James Masson 2006-03-27 09:27:30 UTC 
You're right... I checked with a bootable windows CD (Bart PE), the PCI
vendor/device ID was reported wrong there too.

Hardware problem, please close the bug report - my apologies.
