Note: the ATrpms repository, http://www.atrpms.net/, has an RPMized version of this driver. Until yum.conf includes a per-repository "no update" directive, I'm not going to add atrpms. It tries to replace major components of FC and, at last try, had major unresoved dependency issues. No thank you. Please consider supporting these cards in the main distribution!!! I can report similarly poor performance with an orinoco PIC card using the orinoco_pci driver. DID 10ec:8139. The device stops responding to network traffic, and emits an "AP Out of Range" in the syslog. Removing the orinoco_pci kernel module and re-upping the interface clears the problem. Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. The performance of this driver has improved in the FC3 kernels. Thanks, |
