when running the command # insmod ds i get the following error messages /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/pcmcia/ds.o: unresolved symbol proc_pccard_Rde775d83 /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/pcmcia/ds.o: unresolved symbol CardServices_Re4eef0a4 This module is required for the orinoco_cs module to load. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the "Basic" live cd (this is the ~90mb live cd). 2. at the prompt, run 'insmod ds' Actual Results: Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/pcmcia/ds.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/pcmcia/ds.o: unresolved symbol proc_pccard_Rde775d83 /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/pcmcia/ds.o: unresolved symbol CardServices_Re4eef0a4 Expected Results: it should print 'Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/pcmcia/ds.o' and then return back to a prompt with no additional output. Then, when running lsmod, you should see the ds module in the list. I am running the Lucent Technologies, WiFi Orinoco Gold card. The laptop it is running in is an IBM 600E ThinkPad. This is the only card i have to access my network, and prevents me from installing gentoo linux on my laptop.
also, after more debugging, when i run the command 'modprobe ds' i get the output: ds: no socket drivers loaded! /lib/modules/2.4.21-gss/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
i found a temporary work-around. to resolve the 'no socket drivers loaded' message, i had to run # modprobe i82365 then i was successfully able to run # modprobe ds # modprobe orinoco_cs ************************************************************ I think that someone should make i82365 module a required for modprobe to load before the ds module tries to load.
could someone tell me if my suggestion listed above is a good suggestion? and if so, when it might be implemented?
