Hi guys I am trying to get my orinoco 802.11b card working on my notebook. pcmcia works, as does everything else

I do, however, have a problem with cardmgr starting the device:
Code:
cardmgr[5226]: socket0: Proxim 8420-WD
cardmgr[5226]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs'
cardmgr[5226]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable


In my kernel, I have everything I need (but there may be a conflict with the kernel and modules guessing from that message?)

I tried:
Code:
cardctl status

showed me that the card is ready

I tried:
Code:
cardctl info

showed me that the card is recognized again

cardctl info gives you whats written in the card. that doesn't necessarily mean that it's recognized. It's more that this info you see with cardctl info might be used to get your card recognized.
Can't currently give you the right advice though. Try to find out more.Any other logs ? Sure the drivers are all correct ?

what kernel are you using? If 2.4.: do you use the pcmcia modules in the pcmcia-cs package, or the ones found in the kernel?
