We don't ship a prism2_plx driver... What happens if you use orinoco_cs? What does 'cardctl ident' say with it plugged in? whew - that was a _really_ fast response. :-) Yes, I know, the "prism2_plx.o" which I use on the box that I use this card as PCI on is seperately shipped within "linux-wlan-ng-0.1.16-pre8.tar.gz" and works fine (only with PCI; I'm troubled with installing it on the vanilla RH80 kernel because of MODVERSIONs and stuff). Give me a second, I'll look up the requested information (I'll have to remove Ethernet for the moment..) 1) I don't know how to use orinoco_cs when the RH pcmcia scripts try to load the other driver(s). Without knowing what I'm doing, I just tried to rmmod wvlan_cs and modprobe orinoco_cs, but nothing happens (no eth0, no wlan0). 2) "cardctl ident" says: Socket 0: product info: "U.S. Robotics", "IEEE 802.11b PC-CARD", "Version 01.02", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available This is the latest kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0 with sources installed. cardmgr now reports in the logfile: Jan 24 19:08:29 localhost cardmgr[596]: socket 0: Intersil PRISM2 Reference Design 11Mb/s WLAN Card Jan 24 19:08:29 localhost cardmgr[596]: executing: 'modprobe prism2_cs' Jan 24 19:08:29 localhost cardmgr[596]: + modprobe: Can't locate module prism2_cs Jan 24 19:08:29 localhost cardmgr[596]: modprobe exited with status 255 Jan 24 19:08:29 localhost cardmgr[596]: module /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/pcmcia/prism2_cs.o not available Jan 24 19:08:30 localhost cardmgr[596]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable which I haven't seen before (maybe because of the orinoco module?). I don't know why it tries to load the prism2_cs module now, since this is only available within my freshly installed vanilla 2.4.20 kernel, which is not currently running: # locate prism2_cs /home/johnny/down/wlan/linux-wlan-ng-0.1.16-pre8/src/prism2/driver/prism2_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/prism2_cs.o # uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.18-19.8.0 #1 Thu Dec 12 05:39:29 EST 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 2.4.20 and linux-wlan-ng are on the harddisk since yesterday. It didn't work with the vanilla RedHat kernel and modules before, too. I'm happy about having to load modules on my own, but neither the RedHat-shipped nor the post-installed modules from linux-wlan-ng seem to work by now. The logfile messages I quoted for you are from a vanilla RH80 system (2.4.18-19.8.0); so I wonder why this prismII isn't supported out-of-the-box. Maybe a problem with wvlan_cs detecting the vendor? Thanks for any help. (switching back to Xircom Ethernet/Modem/ISDN. PCMCIA is *so* really nice for hotplug. :->>) Re-reading my submission, I just realized that it might be possible that the RH scripts in /etc/pcmcia (which I backuped before) have been overwritten by linux-wlan-ng; however, it didn't work before, too, and the new scripts already seem to recognize the card to be "PrismII Reference Design", so it should be pretty easy to get it working, in theory. It still doesn't work with the RH modules and scripts, and I'm wondering why. If even a reference design doesn't work, I mean. Basically, to try orinoco_cs, find something that looks like: card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "<something>" and change <something> to orinoco_cs. Then restart pcmcia. |
