I'm trying to install a Linksys WPC55AG 802.11a/g wireless card (PCMCIA/
CardBus) into a Toshiba A15-S127 running Debian Unstable.
The linux-wlan-ng web page says their driver will work with this card and I
followed the directions in README.Debian. When I try ifup I get the
following:
wlanctl-ng: No such device
Failed to enable the device, exitcode= 1 .
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng-pre-up exited with return
code 1
wlanctl-ng: No such device
Failed to enable the device, exitcode= 1 .
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng_pre-up exited with return
code 1
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools exited with return code 251
Operation failed.
The relevent parts of lsmod seem to be:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
prism2_cs 60212 0 (autoclean) (unused)
p80211 15848 0 [prism2_cs]
ds 6472 1 [prism2_cs]
yenta_socket 9120 1
pcmcia_core 39456 0 [prism2_cs ds yenta_socket]
When I run modprobe, it accepts that wlan0 exists, but wlanctl-ng doesn't
believe it. While the comments in linux-wlan-ng-pre-up say that modprobe
could be used in place of wlanctl-ng for the first error, when I do that,
other errors show up.
What am I missing? It seems like I'm just one step from getting this to work.
