 |
|
Hi all,
I am trying to install my WLAN PCMCIA card (D-Link DWL-AG650). I have a 2.6.8.1 kernel.
cardmgr is started and tells me it's watching 1 socket (which seems correct to me as I have only one PCMCIA slot)
| Code: |
[~] root@laptop # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
* PCMCIA support detected.
* Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[9925]: watching 1 socket [ ok ]
|
But, when I tail -f /var/log/messages it does not give any output when I insert my PCMCIA card (I'm not even thinking of configuring my driver; To my info it should at least give some output in /var/log/messages when card is inserted; even if it does not recognize my card).
My kernel-config:
| Code: |
[~] root@laptop # cat /usr/src/linux/.config
...
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_YENTA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y

To my info, this card has an Atheros chipset (which should work I guess).
However, like I said: I'm still stuck one step before driver recognition: cardmgr does not report anything when my card is inserted! |

You're right. I'd want to do that eventually.
But as I said: cardmgr does not report anything is inserted (even not an unknown unrecognized device) and that's the problem here. After cardmgr reports at least something, I'd configure the right driver (which is indeed madwifi).
However, just tried to emerge madwifi driver (just to be sure), but still nothing (as I already expected).
Any hints on my non-reporting  cardmgr?? |
