DWL-650 is bound to wvlan_cs in /etc/pcmcia/config file and this driver is useless for this card. Try to change entry: card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "wvlan_cs" to: card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "orinoco_cs" in this file. orinoco_cs still has its problems but at least it works. Thanks. On loading orinoco_cs, I get an error that there was "Error -110 reading firmware info. Wildly guessing capabilities." and a serious of subsequent errors. Do I need a new firmware load from D-Link or is this just some of the "problems" of the orinoco_cs driver you allude to? Still no luck, not even with orinoco_cs...I can't find any citation of anyone getting the D-Link DWL-650 to work in RedHat 8.0 (or earlier)--or at least that seems authoritative or credible. fixed in CVS |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: After many attempts to configure the a D-Link DWL-650 (Intersil PRISM2-based 802.11b card), I was unable to succeed. Eventually the network config tool grew tired of my impudence and crashed outright. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: Too many steps, not carefully recorded. Fundamentally tried all Lucent-variant drivers in succession trying to find one that worked with this card. Actual Results: No joy in mudville. Expected Results: Packets a-blazin' Additional info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/WirelessInterface.py", line 285, in on_finish_page_prepare s = s + str(wl.EssId) + "\n" UnicodeError: UTF-8 decoding error: unexpected end of data Local variables in innermost frame: druid_page: <gnome.ui.DruidPageEdge object (GnomeDruidPageEdge) at 0x8640884> s: You have selected the following information: Device: eth1 (Lucent Orinoco/Melco PCMCIA wireless (alternate)) Automatically obtain IP address settings with: dhcp Mode: Managed ESSID (Network ID): hwaddr: 00:00:00:00:00:00 self: <netconfpkg.gui.WirelessInterface.WirelessInterface instance at 0x860a56c>wl: <netconfpkg.NCWireless.Wireless instance at 0x8767d4c> hardwarelist: [<rhpl.genClass.Hardware instance at 0x84b71b4>, <rhpl.genClass.Hardware instance at 0x84a8f44>] hw: <rhpl.genClass.Hardware instance at 0x84a8f44> druid: <gnome.ui.Druid object (GnomeDruid) at 0x84f3bcc>
