I am getting the following from the wvlan_cs driver: Dec 1 13:41:31 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: WaveLAN/IEEE PCMCIA driver v1.0.6 Dec 1 13:41:31 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: (c) Andreas Neuhaus <andy.de> Dec 1 13:41:31 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 3.3, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f Dec 1 13:41:31 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: Registered netdevice eth1 Dec 1 13:41:31 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: MAC address on eth1 is 00 05 5d f1 c3 b0 Dec 1 13:41:32 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: This is a PrismII card, not a Wavelan IEEE card :-( Dec 1 13:41:32 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: Found firmware 0x8 (vendor 2) - Firmware capabilities : 1-0-0-0-1 Dec 1 13:41:33 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: MAC address on eth1 is 00 05 5d f1 c3 b0 Dec 1 13:41:33 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: This is a PrismII card, not a Wavelan IEEE card :-( Dec 1 13:41:33 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: Found firmware 0x8 (vendor 2) - Firmware capabilities : 1-0-0-0-1 Dec 1 13:41:33 Clementine kernel: wvlan_cs: Valid channels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Despite this warning making it sound like the driver is not expected to work, the card works just fine with this driver. Should the warning still be there? The card is "D-Link Air DWL-650". I saw this on RH 7.2 both with 2.4.7-10 and 2.4.9-13
See also bug 63432 on more problems with wvlan_cs and this card (after it was used under WinXP).
Prism cards are now handled much better by the orinoco driver
