Hey all: I'm trying to get my wireless card working (Orinoco built-in mini card). I've had some people suggest that I need to take PCMCIA support out of the kernel. (Ok, done.) But it still doesn't seem to be working....
Under Network-device support I've moved everything to module instead of support compiled in. Do I need to remove the modules as well? Tonight I installed ifconfig shows no wlan (only eth0 and lo). I've got the following in my wireless.opts config file: # updated according to # http://danplanet.com/dell_3800.html *,*,*,*) ESSID="linksys" mode="Ad-Hoc" DHCP="y" NICKNAME="debian" ;; The ESSID is what the router broadcasts as (not sure of how to say that, but basically it's the default name for the router). (Once I get everything working I'm going to change it to a cooler name.) lsmod shows: debian:/usr/src/linux# lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P NVdriver 1065088 11 orinoco 29224 0 (unused) hermes 3332 0 [orinoco] ds 6472 3 i82365 21240 3 pcmcia_core 41184 0 [ds i82365] sg 23292 0 (unused) sr_mod 12688 0 (unused) loop 7832 0 (unused) debian:/usr/src/linux# cardctl info PRODID_1="Lucent Technologies" PRODID_2="WaveLAN/IEEE" PRODID_3="Version 01.01" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0156,0002 FUNCID=6 PRODID_1="" PRODID_2="" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,0000 FUNCID=255 PRODID_1="O2Micro" PRODID_2="SmartCardBus Reader" PRODID_3="V1.0" PRODID_4="" MANFID=ffff,0001 FUNCID=255 /etc/pcmcia/config has the following listed: card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter" version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE" bind "orinoco_cs" card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN Adapter" version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/PCMCIA" bind "wavelan_cs" # Added by request of Nuno card "Lucent Adapter" manfid 0x156, 0x0002 bind "orinoco_cs" I can ping the router when I'm plugged in (it's a linksys 4-port wired/wireless router), but I can't ping the router when I'm using wireless (d'uh?). I'm not sure what else to check. :( I can only assume the router works as it's brand new and my lap top can see it from windows. Unfortunately I think I have the wrong windows driver (I'm running 2000, and I have the XP driver) and I can't actually connect to the internet using my laptop (although I can see the router I can't ping it). Unfortunately Acer's solution is to wipe the harddrive and install XP to see if it's a driver problem...my answer to that is, "hmm, no." Any more tips etc would be greatly appreciated. emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
