Hi all,


last time I installed Gentoo on my notebook every think worked fine. This time I installed 1.4 rc2 and I cannot get my wireless pcmcia card working.

I complied the kernel without pcmcia support, but with hotplug support.

After reboot I emerged pcmcia-cs.

This works fine, here is the list of the modules:
ds 7304 2
i82365 27136 2
pcmcia_core 47072 0 [ds i82365]

If I now add the card the driver for it (last time it was the prism2 pcmica) won't be loaded. I tried to load it manual but I cannot find it, I only find prism2_plx and prism2_pci.

Can anybody tell me how to get the prism2 pcmcia driver?

Hope to get some help here, I need the wlan. :cry:

MaGuS

hehe I found it, I searched again in the froum and found this:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=5046&highlight=prism2cs

Ok, so I cooked a new kernel with pcmcia support and cardbus support. Installed the modules, reboot.
After reboot I emerged linux-wlan-ng to get the prism2_cs modul.

I load 'pcmcia_core' and 'i82365', but with the 'i82365' I get an error about irq etc.

So I cooked a new kernel, without any PCMCIA support. I emerged pcmcia-cs and again linux-wlan-ng.

After reboot i load the moduls:
1. pcmcia_core
2. i82365
3. ds
4. prism2_cs

But now I get an error on loading prism2_cs:
Code:

Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/pcmcia/prism2_cs.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
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

dmesg:

I got the same problem. The only thing i had to do was to downgrade pcmica-cs to 3.2.1 . The wlan-ng driver require this version.

I had removed ISA support from my kernal - not knowing that you need ISA support to use a(ll?) pcmcia card(s). Once I added ISA support back into the kernal things started working :)
