HP pavillion XT575 WLAN problems ....

TriGuN

Hey all, I recently installed gentoo on my laptop last week, and my eth1 (wlan) doesnt work after a certain amount of time

my wireless card is a Lan-Express 802.11b PCI card. I'm using gentoo-sources, and i compiled the orinoco driver for it. It works fine for maybe up to an hour or so, and then it just dies, for no reason. eth1 interface stays up, but the driver itself dies

I read on the internet that I need the orinoco_pci module instead of the orinoco module, and so where can I get this module, and how would i compile it into my kernel (if this is the problem) ?

Thanks

okay so i found the orinoco_pci moule in my current kernel and im using it, but it still doesn't solve the problem. I found that if I download at high bandwidth, like 200 KB/s and up, it will crash for some reason

This is seriously a pisser offer

The liveCD also uses the prism2_pci module, I wonder if that is what i'm lookin for =\

okay, I'm finally convinced which modules to use, they are:

orinoco_pci
orinoco
hermes

Knoppix liveCD used these and it works perfect. I modularized those three in the kernel, and loaded them, but eth1 still refuses to bring itself up...why? It simply says:

Bringing eth1 up ...
Failed to bring eth1 up!!!
