atheros and pcmcia: card is not recognized

2006-08-31 Thread Bjoern Franke
Hello,

I bought a Netgear WG511U which is supported by the madwifi-driver.
I created a file /etc/pcmcia/atheros.conf which is included by
/etc/pcmcia/config:

device "atheros"
class "network" module "ath_pci"
card "Atheros WiFi Card"

manfid 0x0271, 0x0012
bind "atheros"

But if I insert the card or restart the pcmcia-services, the card gets
not recognized. When I load manually the ath_pci-module, the card
works well.

cardctl ident says:

Socket 0:
  product info: "Atheros Communications, Inc.", "AR5001--",
"Wireless LAN Reference Card", "00"
  manfid: 0x0271, 0x0012
  function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
  no product info available

any ideas?

TIA

ESS ES1869 + X on Siemens Mobile 501 -> freeze

2003-08-17 Thread Bjoern Franke
Hi,

I tried to get sarge  work on my Siemens Mobile 501, a laptop with a
PII 266, 96MB RAM, 4 GB harddrive, ESS 1869-soundchip and Neomagic
NM2160 graphics-chipset.

After some troubles  (the sb.o- module of bf24, 2.4.20-686 etc. only
accept irq 7) I got  the soundchip working, it plays fine with mpg123
at the console. But when I start X while mpg123 playing, the system
freezes and can only be resetted by pulling the accu out and plugging
the ac/dc-adaptor out. The same thing happens when I use the
alsa-modules (which accept also irq 5) and when I try to use XMMS
under X. 

On http://tuxmobil.de/siemens.html someone got this soundchip work on
a 510 which seem to be nearly the same notebook. 

Does someone of you have some ideas or got a similar hardware
constellation to work? I only found a user with the same problem after
some googling.

thanks
bjo

What error-message? Does it run on the same IRQ as lp0?

When I set the sound-IRQ to 5, I also get this error message and when
I play something the output is interrupted and the kernel reports some
IRQ-conflicts. If I set the sound-IRQ to 7 and lp0 to 5, the soundcard
is detected correctly. 

But in both cases X freezes

What mp3player do you use?

Some month ago I posted about  trouble playing sound while running
Xwindows with a ESS1869chip on a Siemens Mobile 501. 
Then someone told me that sound works with Mandrake 8.0. I found out
that mdk 8.0 uses a 2.4.3 kernel and an old Xwindows. 
So I installed Xwindows 3.x under sarge and now sound works. 
Perhaps there is also a conflict between the xserver and your
soundchip

Are you sure that you do not have v4 with the Realtek 8180 crap?
