pcmcia auto-detection problem
Hello,
I'm currently working on configuring my wireless card for my laptop and
have tripped across a difficulty with my pcmcia configuration. This is a
HP Pavilion zv6000 laptop and a D-Link DWL-G630 wireless card. The
wireless card has an Atheros chipset supported by the madwifi project, and
I have already gotten it working; this is not the issue. The problem is
that unless I have the card in during boot, I must manually do 'cardctl
insert' to get it to be detected properly. Otherwise, it fails to do
anything.
murasaki:/home/jrb# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
no product info available
murasaki:/home/jrb# cardctl insert
murasaki:/home/jrb# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "Atheros Communications, Inc.", "AR5001-0000-0000", "Wireless LAN Reference Card", "00"
manfid: 0x0271, 0x0012
function: 6 (network)
As I said, I have managed to get the card working; this problem is
annoying but not critical. I would appreciate any advice that people can
provide to get this fixed. Thanks.
