Hi! Some times ago, I asked for help in installing a wireless card. The card was broken - now I have a new one - by random the same card as before: belkin f5d6020g ver. 1. There was an offer at ebay, so I thought why not, cause this card should be supported by orinoco_cs and linux-wlan-ng. The card works under windows and it runs one time under orinoco_cs. - yes first not, then it runs (i don't know which kernel I tried :-) and then never again. I thought: maybe orinoco is not stable for the card and I need linux-wlan-ng. So I upgraded to testing and installed kernel 2.4.25-1-586tsc and the linux-wlan-ng package. I can't get it to work. The system comes up (pcmcia start) and I get the information appended below.
Some of the options in /etc/network/interfaces don't work, but the essid is set right. When trying to ping I get the following message: p80211knetdev_hard_start_xmit: Tx attempt prior to association, frame dropped I can't find something on that error. Any help would be nice again, I'm a little frustrated, first card broken, second card bought according to list of supported cards and bad luck all time - and it is much time I invested. Why couldn't be there a card which I just insert and it says yes I will work for you :-) Thanks karsten Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: PCI: Guessed IRQ 10 for device 00:03.0 Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: PCI: Guessed IRQ 10 for device 00:03.1 Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: Yenta ISA IRQ mask 0x0818, PCI irq 10 Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: Socket status: 30000006 Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: Yenta ISA IRQ mask 0x0818, PCI irq 10 Jun 26 17:18:39 omni kernel: Socket status: 30000010 Jun 26 17:18:40 omni cardmgr[873]: watching 2 sockets Jun 26 17:18:40 omni kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x200-0x 207 0x220-0x22f 0x330-0x337 0x388-0x38f 0x400-0x40f 0x480-0x48f 0x4c0-0x4df Jun 26 17:18:40 omni kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean.
