Description of Problem: Orinoco card should used orinoco_cs driver, wvlan_cs is no longer supported and outdated Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-12 How Reproducible: insert a orinoco card to a laptop, the wlan_cs driver is loaded by pcmcia Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: lsmod list wvlan_cs is loaded Expected Results: With orinoco_cs setup, lsmod should show orinoco_cs is loaded Additional Information: To correct the problem, modify /etc/pcmcia/config as shown: card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter" <- Not WaveLAN Adaptor, which is the old version of Orinoco that still used wavelan... I believed version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE" bind "orinoco_cs" # bind "wvlan_cs"
My SMC 2632 802.11b card with a PRISM2 chipset is also set to wvlan_cs in Red Hat. It is completely broken with that driver, but it works with the orinoco_cs driver (though with 75% packet loss). card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "wvlan_cs" Please change to bind "orinoco_cs" If you could also find a solution for my 75% packet loss with orinoco_cs driver, that would be nice too. =(
Ok I made both use orinoco_cs for the next build
should be in rawhide now
