From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: When inserting my prism-based wlan card the driver (orinoco_cs) fails to load and reports: No matching CIS configuration, maybe you need the ignore_cis_vcc=1 parameter. GetFirstTuple: No more items Which is totally a red herring, what's really going on (after much digging) is that when the driver requests an ioport the kernel tells it that the port it wants is in use. Who's using it? pcmcia-cs! Why? because /etc/pcmcia/config.opts includes the ioport it wants! So what's going on here? I'm not sure entirely, but something is using a different method to request an ioport than it should because removing the include statements from config.opts allows everything to work perfectly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.358 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Insert wlan card into ISA-PCMCIA bridge. Actual Results: orinoco_cs driver can't find ioport to use. Expected Results: driver should be able to find a port. Additional info: My bridge is a Vadem VG-469 ISA-to-PCMCIA. A workaround for systems like mine is to remove the 'include port' lines from /etc/pcmcia/config.opts.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closed per above message and lack of response. Note that FC2 is not even supported by Fedora Legacy currently.
