Hello everybody ! I use a laptop HP zt1201s (a zt1000 serie) with linux. The distribution is a debian woody.
The kernel is a 2.4.18 with the acpi patch. The .config is almost the .config file from the debian image 2.4.18-686. I buy a netgear MA401RA wireless pcmcia card. I install wireless-tools with iwconfig and pcmcia-cs packages. And iwconfig won't work : "no wireless extension" What I do : ====================================================================== I type > modprobe yenta_socket ; modprobe ds ; and the green led of the card go on. I type > modprobe orinoco ; modprobe orinoco_cs ; With lsmod I find all theses modules with hermes, af_packet and pcmcia_core. ====================================================================== I must often reinstall pcmcia-cs package because "cardctl ident" doesn't work the first time. > cardctl ident Socket 0: no product info available > dpkg --remove pcmcia-cs ; dpkg --purge pcmcia-cs ; apt-get install pcmcia-cs When there is an error I find with dmesg : cs: warning: no high memory space available! cs: uanble to map card memory! (twice) When cardctl ident is right I get in dmesg : cs: IO port probel 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean cs: IO port probel 0x0800-0x08ff: clean cs: IO port probel 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x378-037f 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probel 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean In /var/log/kern.log I find : Yenta IRQ list 0000, PCI irq11 Socket status:300000010 When "cardctl ident" is right I get : Socket 0: product info: "NETGEAR MA401RA wireless PC", "Card", "ISL37300P", "Eval-RevA" manfild: 0x000b, 0x7300 function: 6 (network) In /var/log/syslog I find : cardmgr[934] : unsupported card in socket 0 cardmgr[934] : product info: "NETGEAR MA401RA wireless PC", "Card" [is right] cardmgr[934] : manfild: 0x000b, 0x7300 ====================================================================== I add a /etc/modutils/wireless_pcmica file with one line : alias wlan0 orinoco_cs and make update-modules after. ====================================================================== When I type "iwconfig wlan0" I get "wlan0 no wireless extension" ifconfig wlan0|eth0 12.3.4.5 doesn't work.
