Bug#422323: Bad results from PCMCIA Orinoco card on ThinkPad T23
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20070407
When installing Etch via NETINST disk on a ThinkPad T23, I have tried
two approaches:
* Use built-in e100 Ethernet (eth0)
* Use orinoco wireless on a PCMCIA card (eth1)
If the Orinoco card is present during NETINST, I get a choice of eth0 or
eth1. I can choose eth1 and do the install wirelessly, but then the
target system fails to handle the card. Unfortunately I had to erase
the error messages, but the complaint was that 00000000 was received
from the card when a nonzero value was expected. I will be installing
on another T23 in a few days and could retrieve the error message then.
If I leave the card out of the PCMCIA slot and install using eth0, I can
then insert the card on the installed system and that then works also.
It is only if the card is used for installation that it then can't be
used on the target system.
