From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031103 Firebird/0.7+ Description of problem: I can not find a driver to work with my netgear 802.11b pcmcia card even though it works fine with core 1. It is automatically identified in core 1 but test1 core 2 doesn't see it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot up 2.run redhat-config-network 3.try to select a driver Actual Results: can not get it to work Expected Results: it would be automatically recognized. Additional info:
It would also be nice if core 2 could include the prism54 stuff so my new netgear wg511 would work. I have it working with core 1 after installing some software from prism54.org.
OK, finally got the 802.11b card to work. Had to put the card in the second pcmcia slot then it kudzu configures the first slot as 3comxxx and the second slot as orinico_cs which works with my card. Since my laptop has builtin ether as well I wonder if it is confusing that port with the pcmcia. Now that it works the problem is that upon booting the boot process hangs until I unplug the 802.11b card then completes booting--then i plug the card in and it works fine.
this is more a kudzu issue
What does kudzu -p -b pcmcia say when it's inserted?
[root@localhost root]# kudzu -p -b pcmcia - class: NETWORK bus: PCMCIA detached: 0 device: eth2 driver: orinoco_cs desc: "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter" vendorId: 0156 deviceId: 0002 function: 0 slot: 0 [root@localhost root]# The way I boot now is to leave the card out until the machine is booted and then insert the card and it works instantly. If I have the card in while booting, the boot process hangs at some point and remains hung until I remove the card and then the boot process completes. Then I can reinsert the card and it works fine. Should I try my netgear wg511 card? Don't know if the new kernel automatically works with 802.11g or not?
Hm, this seems to imply that it's getting probed OK.
I have a similar problem with a real orinoco card, the boot process will hang if the card is inserted during boot and also sometimes at shutdown. when the hangs happen the keyboard is unresponsive. removing the card causes an driver error message which I will post when I can grab a copy of it. I suspect this is actually a kernel driver problem, not kudzu or system-config-network, can this be moved to kernel component?
Created new bug just in case this is another problem bug 116503, log attached there.
moved to kernel component
