 |
|
Hi!
I have an IBM T23 laptop with some strange hardware problems. The internal wlan chip (mini pci) suddenly stopped working. Everything looks normal, card shows up, no error messages, but it doesn't see any accesspoint. Even stranger: sometimes (mostly after kernel updates) it works, but sooner or later the problem exists again.
I tried different drivers (hostap and orinoco), different card firmwares and even different operating systems (same problem with windows, no accesspoint found). At the same time everything is perfect with a pcmcia wireless card. Alltogether it is hard to believe in configuration or software problem.
Could it be a problem with interrupts?

ERR: 1 seems to indicate some kind of error. eth1 is the internal wlan card, wlan0 is a pcmcia card.
I found this topic about sound problems and followed the advice in the second post: enabled local apic, message signal interrupts and io-apic in the kernel. The dmesg output at the end of this post shows local apic enabled, but io-apic not. The content of /proc/interrupts is still as shown. How can I figure out if my system even supports io-apic?
I have other problems that could be related to interrupts. My dvb-card, which is connected over usb, has dropouts when watching channels with high bitrates, and I also had problems with usbsticks connected to a usb 2.0 pcmcia card.
Any help is highly appreciated!
