Description Octavio Ruiz (Ta^3) 2004-03-15 12:11:41 UTC
Since Linux-Wlan-Ng pre17 things does not work in any combination of pcmcia-cs 3.2.5/3.2.7 and linux kernel series 2.4.X.

Comment 1 Dan Noe 2004-04-04 21:18:50 UTC
I am having the same problem... kernel 2.4.22 here, latest pcmcia-cs and wlan-ng
Comment 2 Ross Jordan 2004-04-21 12:00:41 UTC
Same problem here; pcmcia-cs-3.2.7; kernel 2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3. Tried various linux-wlan-ng builds (up to pre20).
Comment 3 J. Paul Reed 2004-05-09 14:22:49 UTC
Same thing here with pre20, gentoo sources 2.4.25-rc3, and pcmcia-cs 3.2.7.

The problem is that the prism2_cs driver is looking for all these pcmcia_ functions; those symbols exist in pcmcia_core.o (installed by pcmcia-cs), but they don't have the pcmcia_ prefix:

moby linux # nm /lib/modules/2.4.26-rc3-gentoo/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o | grep get_con
000017a0 t get_configuration_info
moby linux # 
Comment 4 J. Paul Reed 2004-05-09 15:17:04 UTC
I actually got this to work by breaking the rules: I compiled PCMCIA support with cardbus and I82365 turned on as a module, then re-emerged pcmcia-cs 3.2.7 and linux-wlan-ng, and it all magically worked (with some error messages about an unresolved symbol in tcic.o and the following:

moby linux # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
 * 'modprobe i82365' failed
 * Trying alternative PCIC driver: yenta_socket
 * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[31316]: watching 2 sockets

But dmesg reported:

Prism2 card SN: 99SA01000000
linkstatus=CONNECTED

This may only work if you have a really common card (I have a Linksys WPC11.v3, which has a prism2 chipset). But it solved the problem.

*shrug*

Hopefully solving bug #77780 will solve this as well.
Comment 6 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-02 04:48:49 UTC
linux-wlan-ng-0.2.2 is now in the official tree. Please, test using that and
close if the problem is fixed.
Comment 7 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-10-05 14:06:33 UTC
Awaiting feedback from reporter.
