Prism 2 Wireless Card - I cant get it to work

[garrontmo]

I have a Proxim RangeLan-DS 802.11b wireless card. I am trying to get this thing to work in linux and I am having some troubles. I have read somewhere on this board that to get a prism card to work, you should disable pcmcia/cardbus, say yes to wireless and module to HERMES. I have done that. My pcmcia works fine with my regular network card. My network doesnt start up with the wireless card. When I look at the logs, they say:

Jun 2 16:53:45 [cardmgr] watching 2 sockets
Jun 2 16:53:45 [cardmgr] starting, version is 3.1.33
Jun 2 16:53:45 [kernel] cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.
Jun 2 16:53:45 [cardmgr] unsupported card in socket 1

Jun 2 16:53:45 [cardmgr] manfid: 0x0126, 0x8000 function: 6 (network)
Jun 2 16:53:45 [cardmgr] exiting

Can someone help me out?

Thanks,
Garron

Is it PRISM2 or PRISM2.5? If it's the latter you need the drivers from http://www.linux-wlan.org/

I have a Prism2.5 PCI card in my machine, working fine under Gentoo with those drivers..

I just had to add it to my /etc/pcmcia/config:

card "Proxim RangeLAN-DS"
manfid 0x0126, 0x8000
bind "orinoco_cs"
