 |
|
Hello,
I'm trying to get my USRobitcs 802.11B wireless card working under gentoo, i've got pcmcia working alright, however when i insert the card I get the following message.
| Code: |
tail /var/log/messages
Jan 28 03:47:13 parallex cardmgr[5309]: socket 1: Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter
Jan 28 03:47:13 parallex cardmgr[5309]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs'
Jan 28 03:47:13 parallex cardmgr[5309]: + modprobe: Can't locate module orinoco_cs
Jan 28 03:47:13 parallex cardmgr[5309]: modprobe exited with status 255
Jan 28 03:47:13 parallex cardmgr[5309]: module /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/pcmcia/orinoco_cs.o not available
Jan 28 03:47:14 parallex cardmgr[5309]: get dev info on socket 1 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
|
I would guess that the message means the module cannot be found, but i don't see the option to compile it in the genkernel menues, so i'm not sure what to do from here.
I can't seem to find an answer online or in the forms, i'm kinda up against a wall solving this one, any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. |

Have a look at the use flags of pcmcia-cs by running | Code: | | emerge -pv pcmcia-cs |
What do they say?
Regards,
Alexander

| Code: |
# emerge -pv pcmcia-cs
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.4 -trusted -build +apm +pnp -nocardbus

Though I'm not sure what that means . . . . . . |

You might want to have a look at the linux-wlan-ng package. It contains more wlan drivers for other cards and a better networking stack.

Alexander

| Make sure you have wlan support in your kernel, but don't include any of the devices. Then remerge pcmcia-cs. |

Also make sure you have isa support compiled into the kernel...that one tripped me up on an orinoco card for a long time. Just my two cents. I'm just using kernel drivers (no wlan-ng) and they work great.
