I am having the same problem... kernel 2.4.22 here, latest pcmcia-cs and wlan-ng Same problem here; pcmcia-cs-3.2.7; kernel 2.4.25_pre7-gss-r3. Tried various linux-wlan-ng builds (up to pre20). 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 # 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. linux-wlan-ng-0.2.2 is now in the official tree. Please, test using that and close if the problem is fixed. Awaiting feedback from reporter. |
