|
I have an Orinoco wireless card that doesn't seem to be recognized by the network. Check this out: | Code: | bash-2.05a# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:A5:9A:57:72
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

bash-2.05a# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
orinoco 34080 0
hermes 6720 0 [orinoco]
bash-2.05a# |
I think if the orinoco drivers are working then ifconfig should find eth1 as my orinoco. (eth0 is the onboard ethernet controller) Any thoughts?

hi,
i'm not quite sure, but iirc the orinoco_cs modules is missing.. maybe you have run into the same problem, i have (the module will not be loaded, because of unresol. symbols)... take a look https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4280

My first thought is whether the card has a valid IP) and will thus show up with ifconfig). I assume that the card will use DHCP to get an IP address from the access point. Does your /etc/conf.d/pcmcia contain the entry to designate eth1 as a DHCP client?
Also, my Orinoco card uses the orinoco_cs driver. You have the Orinoco driver listed in your lsmod. I don't know if this makes a difference. Did you insert that module by hand or did cardmgr do it automatically |

It's not a problem of having an IP, as a card that has no IP will still show an interface in ifconfig.
Sounds like the driver isn't loaded.
