pcmcia-cs-cis and udev [Solved]

Hi,
I have a orinoco_cs internal network card and a prism 2.5 pcmcia card.

I want to load orinoco_cs for the internal card and hostap_cs for the prism 2.5 card.

Anyone an idea how to do this with pcmcia-cs-cis and udev?

PS: otherwise I have to use the "old" pcmcia-cs method

Do you have compiled your kernel with the support of those cards?

I use the orinoco_cs for my wireless card and it works fine using the kernel support as modules, and the pcmcia-cs package.

I didn't have to start /etc/init.d/pcmcia to get the card working.

For your two cards, I think you will have to start it. Make sure you have coldplug installed and starting at boot...

The pcmcia script is supposed to recognise your cards and use the proper module for each of them...

I dont have the old pcmcia-cs, but i use the pcmcia-cs-cis with pcmciautils.

With the old pcmcia-cs, u just edit /etc/pcmcia/config to load the right driver.

Why don't you use pcmciautils and pcmcia-cs ? That's what I have here and everything works fine...

I guess u r not familiar with the prism cards. They can use both orinoco_cs and hostap_cs.

I want to use only hostap_cs for my pcmcia card. But it seems that eventhough I adjusted /etc/pcmcia/config, it still wants to load orinoco.
When I leave orinoco_cs out of the kernel it works fine with hostap_cs.

Hmm....

Even if you change (is that what you changed?) this part to bind the hostap_cs?

Yes that was what I tried. I even tried modules.aliases

Is there another way?

Well... hmmm.... :lol:

I hope any Prism guru will be able to help you

I only worked with the Orinoco driver

Its working now... (with pcmcia-cs) not cs-cis

Was a duplicate device in config...

thnx

My original ? is not solved.

Oh...

So if we summarise you're able to load the hostap-cs module for your PrismII card but you're not able to use both of your cards (one with Orinoco and the other one with PrismII)?
