Compaq WL200 on Alpha
Hello.
Has anybody got the WL200 WLAN card from Compaq running
on an Alpha?
Here's what I have:
Kernel 2.4.17 (custom, without Kernel-PCMCIA)
pcmcia-cs 3.1.31
Prism2 driver from http://www.epitest.fi/Prism2/ (version 2002-01-03)
lspci recognizes the card:
00:07.0 PCMCIA bridge: Cirrus Logic CL 6729 (rev 07)
Flags: stepping, slow devsel, IRQ 26
I/O ports at 8450 [size=4]
cardctl also "sees" the PCMCIA card:
Socket 0:
product info: "Compaq", "WL200_11Mbps_Wireless_PCI_Card", "", ""
manfid: 0x0138, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
When loading PCMCIA with the prism2 driver, I only get:
Feb 10 14:55:49 kermit kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.31
Feb 10 14:55:49 kermit kernel: kernel build: 2.4.17 unknown

<jkm
@ssh.com>
and iwconfig, ifconfig et al do not recognize my second Ethernet interface
(eth1).
I suppose it has something to do with the prism2 driver
(especially the file prism2.c, lines 221-247)
Since I'm no kernel programmer/expert, I don't really know
where to start. Any hints?
Kind regards,
Oliver
