I have just installed a basic command-line version of feisty herd 4 on a usb pen drive. The kernel version is 2.6.20 BUT the bug is still there! My PCMCIA wireless card picks up the orinoco_cs driver which works (albeit only up to channel 11 though this may be hardware restriction). If I blacklist the orinoco_cs driver and modprobe the hostap_cs driver it does not associate with my card at all.
Does any one know if the solution is as simple as Nuku suggests above? ie write an ubuntu patch to include the correct pcmcia IDs? If it is I could have a go if someone can tell me which kernel source file to patch (kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_cs)?? though I'm not sure where to get the different pcmcia IDs from. I would like to have this fixed mainly so that I can use both my wireless cards. I have on orinoco usb card which I use most of the time. It needs to have the drivers compiled manually from CVS but they conflict with the built in kernel orinoco drivers. This means when I plug in my pcmcia wireless card even the orinoco_cs driver does not work now :S Is the pursuit of fixing this bug futile or pointless now? I'm not sure if the 0.15 orinoco drivers in the kernel support monitor mode, wpa_supplicant and gnome network manager as well as hostap did/does. If it does then perhaps fixing this bug is not needed any more..... my two cents worth..... -- [Edgy regression] Hostap driver for PRISM2 wifi card not working any more https://launchpad.net/bugs/62685 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
