SubjectRe: PCMCIA and hermer/orinoco_cs drivers b0rken?
Digg This
Hi,

Are you using the modules from the kernel source or from pcmcia-cs? Are you using yenta_socket or pcmcia-cs? pcmcia-cs has given me a lot more positive results than trying to use yenta_socket and the built in kernel modules. Also, try binding your card IDs to use wavelan_cs instead and see if it works (maybe those cards are a bit older and as such need older drivers.)

Also see if /sbin/iwconfig (hopefully you have this gem installed, it's wireless-tools by Jean Tourrilhes @
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html) gives you any useful information. Is it picking up an AP?
Finally, ACPI might not make a difference, but see if enabling or disabling APM does.

Hope this helps you.
Regards

-Josh

I have nearly the same setup as you

Since very early 2.4 somewhere it has been impossible to use my two wireless cards, a NetGear ME401 and a Lucent card (both orinoco-based). Both are able to load the modules when pluggen in, but trying to use them is futile, as nothing gets transmitted, and dmesg show tons of this:

eth1: Station identity 001f:0006:0001:0003
eth1: Looks like an Intersil firmware version 1.03
eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported
eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported
eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key
eth1: MAC address 00:09:5B:27:DC:F9
eth1: Station name "Prism I"
eth1: ready
eth1: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 6, io 0x0100-0x013f
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
eth1: Tx timeout! Resetting card. ALLOCFID=0128, TXCOMPLFID=0127, EVSTAT=800c eth1: Error -110 writing packet to BAP
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP
eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
eth1: Tx timeout! Resetting card. ALLOCFID=0128, TXCOMPLFID=0127, EVSTAT=800c

The situation is similar for both cars, and I'm wondering if this is a known broken setup, or I've messed up?

Currnently I'm on 2.4.20, tried both with and without the ACPI and preempt patches (vmware deosnt make a difference either), the hardware is a Compaq Evo n800c notebook and this is the cardbus bridge:
