Hi, I recently (2 days ago) installed my laptop and had some problems getting my wireless card to work reliably. I was reading through the Orinoco driver README and it says: http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/README.orinoco Q: I using version 0.12(something) and I'm getting lockups / it's not working. A: Don't use any of the 0.12 versions. A blunder on my part meant that we are attempting to use a locking model that's incompatible with the network layer. I noticed that the current ebuild uses 0.12b, which is probably not a good thing . I'd rather see people use the stable 0.11b driver. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, here is an ebuild of that I modified without the 0.12b driver and added the Orinoco Monitor Patch from Airsnort. I'd like to know what people think about it. So far it's been working fine for me. Cheers, Alastair
Created attachment 3208 [details] my pcmcia-cs ebuild with orinoco monitor patch and sans-orinoco-0.12b
if you read through the current ebuild then you will notice that if you define wavelan in USE then it won't use the orinoco driver. also I don't see the advantage of including this patch in the main pcmcia-cs ebuild. You didn't really explain it and it's also could lead to errors with some systems. Making this bug as invalid.
