Bug#536594: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686: PCMCIA failure
Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686
Version: 2.6.30-1
Severity: normal
I've had a problem with my PCMCIA wireless card in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30.
On boot, in 2.6.29 I get a kernel panic when the card is detected, and
in 2.6.30 it just hangs at that point. If I boot without the card and
then insert it, the hardware address is messed up. Instead of
12:34:56:78:9A:BC iwconfig reports it as 12-34-56-78-9A-BC-XX-XX, where
the Xs constantly change. That's on eth0; wlan0_rename shows the correct
address.
The card is an old 802.11b Netgear, with dmesg reporting:
[ 12.064260] orinoco_cs 0.15 (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, et al)
[ 12.300688] eth0: Hardware identity 800c:0000:0001:0000
The system info attached shows my kernel as 2.6.26, because that's the
version I have where my wireless works.
