 |
|
I am having a hell of a time trying to get my Aironet 350 PCMCIA card working with a 2.6 kernel on my 1.25 ghz Powerbook 15". I compiled PCMCIA support as a module and the aironet drivers. I also have hotplug and compiled usb-utils.
i also compilled the most recent pcmci-cs, I believe 3.2.25. When it boots, it can not detect my card and tries to load memory_cs drivers.
doing a cardctl info does not list any id code or product name.
Id appreciate any help. |

Still can't get this card to work  I tried to to downgrade to 4.2.23 radio firmware and, also, used the 4.2.30. pcmcia-cs is still insisting on identifying the card as anonymous memory and loads memory_cs module.
When I do a cardctl info, the manfid is listed as 0000x0000 and there is not Product ID, ie Cisco Aironet 350 card.
I even did like some people suggested in the forums to enable ISA support in the kernel. I doubt this is the problem because there is not ISA support on powerbooks.
I tried downloading the binaries from Cisco's site, but they refuse to run under Linux PPC. I assume that they only run on x86, @#$!
I am puzzled as to why it doesn't work and have tried just about everything. Please, someone help me. |

Please help, I am about to go kamakazi on the Cisco card and by an Orinico. I thought Cisco would work when I bought the card.
Thanks |

Well PCMCIA cards use some of the isa code. PCMCIA is the old 16bit bus, Cardbus is the 32bit one. The issue here is with the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts settings. I've been able to get linux to identify my card ( and one of my two happens to be an aironet 350), but it can't allocate the proper resources.
include port 0x1000-0x10ff
include port 0x1400-0x14ff
include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff |

if you could post the section in your config.opts that I need to input to at least get it recognized, I'd appreciate it. Also, what firmware are you using? Did you try downgrading the firmware. I heard that some firmwares don't work with the linux drivers.
Thanks very much,

Read the bottom of my previous post :p
include port 0x1000-0x10ff
include port 0x1400-0x14ff
include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff
I haven't tried downgrading the firmware since this isn't a problem specific to the aironet card. |
