From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Presario 2110US laptop. Fedora 1.92 test3 completely freezes when used with orinoco 802.11 pcmcia card. Three cases: 1. card installed before booting, freezes just after pcmcia starts. Upper right says it is starting power services. Case 2: booted without card installed. Freezes as soon as card in inserted. Case 3: booted without card installed. Turn pcmcia service off. Insert card OK. Freezes when pcmcia services restarted. Nothing works to restore the pc except holding the power switch down to turn it off. Tried several cards (same type) with same results. Previously had same results with Fedora 1. Reformated drive before loading test3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora 1.92 test3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.insert orionco pcmcia card 2.boot pc with fedora 1.92 test3 3. Actual Results: completely freezes. Have to power off Expected Results: Should have booted to full system with 802.11 card working Additional info:
Update: I was able to get the card working!! In the config.opts file in the /etc/pcmcia directory -- I had to exclude most of the IRQs. Specifically, I excluded IRQ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12. I did not exclude 8, 9, 13, 14, 15. Everything seemed to work normally. This is NOT the IRQ exclusion list in the original config.opts file. It would be better if a method could be automatically invoked or if not, at least manually run and observed to correctly identify interrupts that must be excluded. All memory and port statements in the file were left as-is.
any better with fc3 and updates ?
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
