WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i got it working,
alright heres the way to do it:
1) Enable PCMCIA support in kernel, enable wlan, enable ISA for cardbus, enable whatever driver module you need and recompile. Start yenta-socket or whichever pcmcia module youre using (its usefull to put it in autoload). Your pcmcia cards should light up
2) emerge pcmcia-cs-3.5.5.ebuild, it shoudlnt have any problems working, add it to the default runlevel (rc-update add pcmcia default). Ignore the comment about having pcmcia disabled in kernel
3) start pcmcia-cs with the init.d script
4) emerge wireless-tools, once done do iwconfig and see if your device is listed |

After reading this thread and others, I am giving this a shot once again. I have had mixed results with 2.6 and my built-in wireless. It would work sometimes, while at other times not.
I am doing:
pcmcia compiled IN the kernel
cardbus compiled IN the kernel
WLAN enabled with my drivers(hermes-prism2) as modules
Kernel is compiling at this point.
As I read from later posts in this thread, I can put pcmcia-cs back in and it'll work... Cool. Hope it all works out. |

how about this problem
| Code: | Dec 30 14:56:08 booboo cs: unable to map card memory!
Dec 30 14:56:08 booboo cs: unable to map card memory!
Dec 30 14:56:08 booboo cs: unable to map card memory!

I have every thing either compiled in or as modules as is said in this thread
cardctl recognizes that a card is inserted but it cant give any info on sence it apparently cant access the memory, and as such the kernel also knows there is a card there but cant load the drivers sence there is no way for it to figure out which one to load with out accessing the memory
its an orinoco by the way and worked perfectly in 2.4
any ideas |

I have a prism2 based mini-pci card that worked flawlessly under 2.4.
With the recent move to 2.6 I have had mixed success. This card will init sometimes and sometimes not. I am using the kernel drivers. Any light on this one. I have followed this thread and others to get it working.
I have concluded that with or without the latest pcmcia-cs it acts the same.
I have pcmcia and cs compiled in the kernel and wirless as well with the hermes stuff as modules. |

I also recently upgraded to kernel 2.6. I got my Netgear MA401 PC card working by enabling PCMCIA as modules in the kernel,
then using the linux-wlan prism2 drivers. I have never had any luck in getting the hermes/orinoco kernel drivers working right.
The version I am currently running is linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre13, installed from source. The latest ebuild available is
for v0.2.1-pre11. That should work, though I haven't actually tried it myself | Code: |
emerge /usr/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1_pre11.ebuild
