 Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2003 9:57 pm Post subject: updating the orinoco drivers in pcmcia-cs ? |
 |
|
The current version of orinoco code in pcmcia-ca package is 11b.. while the latest version is 13e. Has anyone successfully updated to 13e ?
Before switching to gentoo I was running 13e with great success, thus having
to fall back to 11b is rather annoying.
Thanks in advance |

I successfully upgraded my drivers. I don't remember exact details, but I took out support in the kernel for all wireless devices, but left the
| Code: | | General Setup -> PCMCIA/Cardbus Support -> PCMCIA/CardBus Support [M] |
as a module. Then I
| Code: | | emerge -f pcmcia-cs |
I then commented out all modules in /etc/modules.autoload that correspond to anything wireless (i.e. orinoco, yenta_socket). Then I rebooted with the new kernel (after compiling, and copying to /boot, changing grub/lilo).
Next I
This emerge patched the correct monitor patches.
Afterwards I,
or
(if already loaded -- remove card and reinsert//a cardctl reset might do the same thing  )
OK, take a look at
and hopefully it will give you an upgraded driver
I will take a look at my ebuild tonight if you still can't get it working.

I emerged pcmcia-cs and the built the 13e drivers and installed then. Was
successfully running with 13e until I rebooted the laptop and which point the system was not able to restart orinoco_cs  and I had to revert alll the way back to the stock drivers 
I'll gladly take any sugguestions you can offer.
