Someone previously mentioned problems with wlan cards using the yenta_socket driver. I have an orinoco gold in a PCI to PCMCIA adaptor in my desktop. I am using the orinoco_cs driver and with it goes yenta. I asked how one changes this so that i82365 is used instead of yenta and was told to edit the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file and change the PCIC to i82365. I did this but STILL yenta_socket is loaded. I have also done some looking elsewhere (modules.conf and other likely files) but nowhere do I find any mention of yenta_socket so I can pinpoint who the bastard file is that keeps loading it.
I changed the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia entry but yenta STILL loads. How does one get i82365 to load instead?!? I am having MAJOR difficulties getting a "simple" adhoc connection going between my laptop and desktop. I have tried everthing and anything, including naked dancing in the rain at night but nothing NOTHING NOTHING will get them to talk. I am now down to hoping that the messages in my /var/log/messages file about dev_watchdog (or whatever): tx timeouts and my orinoco are behind the impossibility of getting my two linux boxes talking AND I am blaming these tx timeouts on yenta_socket. I want to try i82365 because it is my last, best hope of getting a %$@@(*!! wireless connection going between my two systems. I must say that this sort of ulcer-causing difficulty in setup is one of the reasons that linux is WAY not ready for everyday people to use. I am not everyday people but this level of impossibility is bad, bad, bad. Help! Pleeeeeze! praedor
