This is a problem with the hardware detection in kudzu. Just as an added note, this card is only supported by the linux wlan-ng project at http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ Is this one of those PCI cards ? If so, we're expecting to support them in some future erratum for 7.3 Yes, its a PCI Prism2 based card, not a sled See bug 76305 for a resolution in version 8.0. The patch provided there might work in 7.3, but I don't recall the orinoco_cs module being included in 7.3. Would it work with the wvlan_cs module instead? Umm, no, the wvlan_cs has never worked with Prism based cards I use hostap right now, wlan-ng theoretically works, and orinoco_cs from 2.4.19 will load, but has serious problems under heavy network load latest erratum has an updated orinoco driver that fixes a whole slew of bugs like this |
