|
hello again everyone,
first of all i guess this is a repost but ive narrowed the problem down.(sorry moderators)
okay basically im having trouble getting my prism 2.5 card t be recognized using the hostap driver.
below i will post as much information as i have found out about it.
first errors given by pcmcia.
ev0lt0p agentblue # /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
* Stopping pcmcia ... [ ok ] * PCMCIA support detected
* Starting pcmcia ...
cardmgr[13537]: watching 1 socket
cardmgr[13537]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0xc00-0xcff: Function not implemented
cardmgr[13537]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0x800-0x8ff: Function not implemented
cardmgr[13537]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0x100-0x4ff: Function not implemented
cardmgr[13537]: could not adjust resource: memory 0xc0000-0xfffff: Function not implemented
cardmgr[13537]: could not adjust resource: memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff: Function not implemented
cardmgr[13537]: could not adjust resourcev0lt0p
next some info showing that the card is recognized.
agentblue # cardctl info 0
PRODID_1="INTERSIL"
PRODID_2="HFA384x/IEEE"
PRODID_3="Version 01.02"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCID=6
ev0lt0p agentblue # cardctl ident 0
product info: "INTERSIL", "HFA384x/IEEE", "Version 01.02", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
Now here is where i think the problem is
/etc/pcmcia/config
card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"
this line states that i should bind to the orinoco_cs driver but even when i install the orinoco driver and modprobe the module i still get nothing.
What am i doing incorrect here?
Anyone who has experience setting up a prism 2.5 card such as my senao NL-2511cd plus ext2 card let me know your help would be greatly appreciated. |

Here is what I did to get the Senao 2511-cd ext2 card to load:
Note:
Make sure that you have pcmica working before going on. I am sure that is in the gentoo handbook if it is not working.
emerge hostap-drivers host-utils wireless-tools hostapd
Make sure that the orinoco_cs module was built in your kernel.
Do a
| Code: | | modprobe orinoco_cs |
Remove the card from your pcmcia slot and plug it back in and the green light will go from solid green to blink this is a good thing.
Do an iwconfig and you will see it loaded as ethX.
| Code: |
eth2 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:"Prism I"
Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Bit Rate:2 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/3
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/92 Signal level=-68 dBm Noise level=-122 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

You should now be able to connect to you AP or use it with kismet and I assume other great wardriving programs.
Add the orinoco_cs module the the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to have it autoload each reboot.
Thats it! |
