2.6 with pcmcia-cs and orinoco-cs ?

[Optimus']

Hey I've just unpacked a built the pcmcia-cs-3.2.8 tar file in my kernel sources. I've then done a similar thing with the orinoco-cs tar file and I've got the following error:

Makefile:51: *** Can't cope with 2.6 and pcmcia-cs together. Stop.

Am I doing something wrong here? confused.gif

I am pretty sure that your question is answered in the FAQ

Thanks I didn't know portage could do this! I've followed the instructions in the FAQ, and what the make proccess said, and I've run into some problems.

[imadcow1]

Hmm. I am not expert, I am quite a n00b myself but something is telling me that you need to recompile the yenta module. I remember messing with my kernel before and when trying to insert a module getting an unknown symbol error. I remember recompiling and reinstalling my modules and kernel fixed everything for me.

I think the best way to insert a module is with modprobe. So try "modprobe pcmcia_core" I think insmod looks for the file in whateever directory you are in.

Good luck!

Okay this was weird but this is what happened.

I recompiled my kernel, and yenta_socket module could be modprobed. However, on bootup orinoco_cs wouldn't run, when it previously had :S So I emerged orinoco again and everything worked fine after that... but isn't that a little weird?

Anyway I've been using this http://www.mynetcologne.de/~nc-kringsjo2/r600hfpd_eng.html#jogdial

guide to get my wireless to work (same hardware I pressume) and I've loaded hermes, orinoco, orinoco_cs and now yenta_socket. But still I don't get any wireless device in ifconfig -a or iwconfig...

[imadcow1]

Maybe taking a look at the networking section of the Gentoo install guide might help. The part where it has you set stuff up manually. I'm not sure if that'll help or not as I'm not totally sure if you would go through the same procedure for wireless as you would wired.

Good luck!

Ok here's the latest, and it's good news!

[Optimus']

Ok, silly me, I just had to do

ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth2

and guess what, after a little confinguration of /etc/conf.d/net/wireless I have wireless

It works!!!!

I have some errors at boot and shutdown, and I'll have to figure out howto fix those, but by God it works!

[imadcow1]

I'm glad you got it fixed Make sure you backup your configuration now in case something happens so you don't have to go through all that again!
