Re: Cannot get Debian sarge/linux-2.6.10 to recognize Netgear PCI Card



Do'h ... and I'm officially dyslexic. I glanced at that line and thought it was the onboard modem.

Hmm, it looks like I'll need to get a different card ... I bought this thinking it used the Prism chipset.

Poo.

Ok ... that does help ... but further, my question now is:  doesn't
lspci report all devices detected, regardless of whatever my kernel's
wireless driver config is like?

I'm not getting anything from lspci about this device.  Does that
suggest a more fundamental problem?

Hi,

I'm attempting to get my described setup to recognize my Netgear PCI
wireless card (WG311).

I've rebuilt a kernel to include prism54 support ... but the device
doesn't even show up in "lcpci" output.

Any suggestions as to how to go about diagnosing the problem?
You need to know what chipset uses the card, after a quick search
seems that WG311v1 is equipped with an Atheros chipset, the WG311v2
instead uses the TI ACX111 chipset. The quick search point to a
SourceForge page http://acx100.sourceforge.net, but don't know if the
latter works tho.

You can use this page
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm to
know exaclty your HW using the FCCID...

Hope this helps.

Atheros might look like this:
0000:00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

I don't think yours uses the atheros, I think it uses the other.
0000:00:08.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps
Wireless Interface

yours mentions the ACX driver Andrea mentioned a link:
