Hello. I have a SMC2602W wireless PCI card that I can't seem to get working in debian linux...(this is not for a laptop, but I am a lurker on this list, and I figured this would be a good place to try).
Useful information: uname -r 2.4.23-xfs lspci 00:0c.0 RF controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c978 [HomePNA] (rev 03) Subsystem: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC]: Unknown device 2600 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR+ Latency: 32 (1000ns min, 13000ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10 Region 0: Memory at db100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 0 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- I tried the linux drivers from ADMtek ADM8211 Linux driver 1.03.tar.gz and ADM8211_src_105.tar.gz : http://www.admtek.com.tw/index/index/download.htm As you can see below, I can't seem to get the SMC2602W card working... insmod 8211.o Warning: loading 8211.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - Proprietary See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules 8211.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg Am I attempting the to use the wrong modules for this wireless card? I have also attempted to use the orinoco_plx and orinoco_pci with no success... modprobe orinoco_plx /lib/modules/2.4.23-xfs/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_plx.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

This is listed in the pcitable for ethernet cards, so it seems my wireless card is using the same type of chipset??? 0x1022 0x2001 "pcnet32" "Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]|79c978 [HomePNA]" Referring link: http://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/~hammerd/docs/custom_boot9/pcitable.e1000 Any help would be wonderful.... I've read the other threads, and attempted many different things, but I am lost at this point.... Thanks. -- Donnie
