I've looked in the archives, and this seems to have been a FAQ in the past
with the answer being "they don't work yet". I haven't found anything on
the subject since February, so I'm inquiring:
Do PCI PCMCIA adapters work in 4.3?
As far as I can tell, they do not. My Lucent ORiNOCO/WaveLAN card has the
same symptoms as have been reported previously by others:
wi0: tx buffer allocation failed
wi0: xmit failed
wi0: device timeout
The host card is a "TI PCI-1410 PCI-CardBus Bridge", marketed as the
ORiNOCO PCI adapter by Lucent. I tried putting the WaveLAN cards on IRQ 5
and IRQ 10. Neither of these had any other devices using them.
The WaveLAN cards (I tried both of mine) both fine in my laptop.
So I suspect that PCI support is not yet available in stable. Is it
available in current?
Is there anything a junior kernel hacker can do to try to fix this?
