Bug with ethernet-card #144579 Hmm... after upgrading HAL, NetworkManager, and kernel (to the last 2.6.9 that was pushed - it was so close to 2.6.10 that i was able to compile the "2.6.10 only driver" for it - newest version), it now works better - ie it doesn't make my pc lag as hell, and NetworkManagerInfo comes up and detects the card and the network. But it still isn't able to connect. I chose "wireless network -> kyrre" (name of my local network). It searches for a long time, and then tries to connect. I have seen it connect sucsessfully once - i.e. it did get an IP etc., but i wasn't able to ping anything... Routing table also looked kindof "wierd". (no eth0 stuff, just 3 or 4 entries for eth1). And it was dead slow. In comparison, netplugd uses about 5 secounds from plugging in network cardbus card (including detecting card and loading driver, getting IP and setting everything up). But it looks great ! :D If only it would work... Can you give the URL of the driver you're using? I'm fairly sure that's not an upstream kernel driver. I'll take a look at the driver code to see if its more or less sane. Thanks, Dan http://aluminum.sourmilk.net/adm8211/ No its not an upstream kernel driver (yet). But it works, and enables me to use the wlan card really nicely. As of my last test, NetworkManager worked with the card, but it was very slow. It was "connecting" for 2 minutes... But network selection worked, and it did eventually come up. But its really strange that it is so slow when hotplug/netplugd uses about five secounds to bring the network up after i have inserted the card... The bug is gone - it "just works" now. You may close this bug. Btw. great work on NetworkManager! i'm taking the freedom to close this bug myself. it is fixed, as commentet above. I'm not completely shure which to pick, but "Worksforme" seems fine :) |
