PCI Parallel Port Card Disabled was created by drewsteriam5
I'm having trouble getting LinuxCNC to communicate with my Gecko 540 driver via a PCI single Parallel Port Card I just installed (This card: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003D3MFHC).
When I run the lspci -vv command I get the following about the card:
01:00.0 Parallel controller: NetMos Technology Device 9900 (prog-if 03 [IEEE1284])
Subsystem: Device a000:2000
Control: I/O- Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5
Region 0: I/O ports at 1100 [disabled]
Region 1: I/O ports at 1108 [disabled]
Region 2: [virtual] Memory at f0800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Region 5: [virtual] Memory at f0801000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
I tried going into the BIOS and seeing if there was anything obvious disabled that shouldn't be, but I came up empty on that front. This is a fresh install of the LinuxCNC Debian Wheezy 2.6 ISO on this site. If it makes any difference I installed LinuxCNC last night, then installed the PCI card today after the the install was already done.
I'm not sure where to go from here so any help would be appreciated. I was able to run the motors from the LiveCD on a different computer a few days ago, so I know the driver board works.
Thanks

This rather old wiki covers it
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?NetMos
There can be a problem with this distro for some reason, I came across it with Wheezy from a different install too.

should fix it by ensuring the parport low level driver is loaded, allowing access to the card.

sudo modprobe parport_pc

sudo rmmod ppdev
sudo rmmod lp

Hi
I was wondering if you ever solve your problem. I bought the same card and am getting the same problem.
Thanks Jan
