From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: Using the arjanv 2.6.0 RPMs on a Gateway 600XL laptop runing Fedora Core 1 the orinoco_cs loads but cannot attach to the card. No error messages are produced. I was able to correct this by rebuilding the source RPM but removing the patch that changed "-O2" to "-Os" in the main kernel Makefile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0-1.1.103 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install arjanv 2.6 RPM 2.Try to load orinoco_cs Actual Results: The driver loads but does not attach to the wireless card Expected Results: The driver should have attached to the wireless card. Additional info:
sigh this sounds like a nasty driver bug; this driver breaks like this if gcc has even slightly different optimisations.... more like a driver bug than gcc bug ;(
cause found and fixed now (typing over a wireless connection with orinoco right now)
