kernel 2.4 orinoco gold card problems
howdy...
i recently bought a pair of orinoco gold wireless pcmcia network cards,
one for my laptop and one for a desktop (the base station). the laptop
is a thinkpad 600e and the desktop is a mongrel pc with a tyan trinity
kt-a motherboard and an orinico pci->cardbus bridge. both machines are
running testing.
i'm using:
pcmcia-cs 3.1.33-6
pcmcia-source 3.1.33-6
wireless-tools 24-1
kernel 2.4.18 (on the laptop)
2.4.19-rc2-ac2 (on the desktop, but i've also
tried 2.4.18 with identical results)
so far, i've been using the modules from pcmcia-source, not the 2.4
in-kernel pcmcia support.
the problem is with the desktop machine. initially, i had resource
allocation problems with the cardbus bridge, but i was able to play
bios and card swapping games until pcmcia-cs quit complaining about
no available high memory. now, when i insert the card or boot with it
inserted, the wireless card is recognized, but iwconfig won't play ball
with it:
logos:~ ] iwconfig eth1
eth1 no wireless extensions.
this is the entire wireless.opts which i'm playing with:
logos:~ ] cat /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,*)
ESSID="BOGUS"
MODE="Ad-Hoc"
;;
esac
when i use the identical wireless.opts on the laptop, iwconfig is
able to set and questy the essid and mode and other parameters.
here's the relevant logs from the desktop:
