Hello, [this email is send to two mailing lists, as I think both can help. And, yes, I read both, so no need to CC to me] I have just buy a wireless "starter-kit" from USR which contain two PCMCIA card an a PCI adapter for one of the PCMCIA card. OK, I'm new to wireless (this is my first installation). After some surf on the web, it seems I have at least two possibility for this "PCI-version" : - use the orinoco_plx driver - use the prism2_plx driver from linux-wlan-ng. Now, the "good" part ;-) : I want to install the "PCI-version" on an SPARC Ultra 10 running Debian. :-) The first try of orinoco_plx cause problems with the kernel, so I downloaded the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.16-pre5 version. Unfortunalty, the __sparc__ CPU is not supported. :-( I have try to add some code in src/include/wlan/wlan_compat.h, and after some "hack" for compiling (use sparc64-linux-gcc, use ld with the correct flags, ...), I have now a module prism2_plx. Cool. :-) But, it don't work (I think it's normal, my the modification of the wlan_compat.h seems too simple : just add some new #define ...SPARC... x) Now, when I load the module I have in the logs (really close to the test with orinoco_plx) : Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: init_module: prism2_plx.o: 0.1.16-pre5 Loaded Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: init_module: dev_info is: prism2_plx Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: A PLX PCI/PCMCIA interface device found, phymem:0x1ff00008000, phyio=0x1fe02000480, irq:6747200, mem: 0x1ff00008000 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: \|/ ____ \|/ Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: "@'/ .. \`@" Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: /_| \__/ |_\ Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: \__U_/ Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: modprobe(3002): Oops Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: TSTATE: 0000004411009600 TPC: 000000000206a900 TNPC: 000000000206a904 Y: 00000000 Not tainted Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: g0: fffff800107eef18 g1: 0000000000000001 g2: 0000000000000000 g3: 0000000000000000 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: g4: fffff80000000000 g5: 0000000000000000 g6: fffff80011b90000 g7: 0000000000000000 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: o0: 0000000000000077 o1: 00000000006b5f5f o2: 0000000000000000 o3: 00000000005db400 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: o4: 000001ff00008000 o5: 0000000000000000 sp: fffff80011b93261 ret_pc: 000000000206a8f8 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: l0: 000001ff00008000 l1: 000001ff00008000 l2: fffff8001061b000 l3: 0000000000000000 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: l4: 0000000000000000 l5: 0000000000000004 l6: 0000000000000000 l7: 0000000000000008 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: i0: 000001fe02000480 i1: 000000000207c960 i2: 000000000206a820 i3: fffff8001061b000 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: i4: 0000000000000000 i5: ffffffffffffffff i6: fffff80011b93321 i7: 000000000051fc80 Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: Caller[000000000051fc80] Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: Caller[000000000051fd2c] Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: Caller[000000000206ad60] Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: Caller[000000000044916c] Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: Caller[0000000000410af4] Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: Caller[0000000000026a5c] Nov 6 01:46:43 cool kernel: Instruction DUMP: 94100018 7f8f75aa 98100011 <d20c4000> 80a26001 22400009 d00c6002 110081e7 130081e7 And the lsmod give me : prism2_plx 90312 (initializing) p80211 22144 0 [prism2_plx] ...
