 Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2005 10:10 am Post subject: PCMCIA Card Wireless card not working [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have a CNET PCMCIA wireless card that works fine in knoppix with the atmel_cs driver. I am trying to get it to work in gentoo , but can't get the kernel net detect it
The details are:
Kernel Version:
Output of pcmcia_cs
| Code: | Aug 18 08:21:53 laptop cardmgr[13064]: watching 2 sockets
Aug 18 08:21:53 laptop cardmgr[13064]: unsupported card in socket 1
Aug 18 08:21:53 laptop cardmgr[13064]: product info: "CNet", "CNWLC 11Mbps Wireless PC Card V-5"
Aug 18 08:21:53 laptop cardmgr[13064]: manfid: 0x1371, 0x0811 function: 6 (network)
|
As i said, it works fine in knoppix - i have the module installed into the kernel, modprobing it returns nothing to dmesg or /var/log/messages
relevant output of lsmod:
| Code: | Module Size Used by
atmel_cs 9028 0 |
any help / suggestions would be appreciated. I have searched the forums and looked at the gentoo-wiki docs, but none of that seems to help. I am probably missing somthing simple, but would really like to get it working
Thanks in advance
