I just recieved my new 3Com Officeconnect 11Mbps pcmcia 16bit wireless network card oday.
Happy as I am, i plug it in to my rather old) laptop, and as expected it didnt work, i had to compile new drivers for it ( http://atmelwlandriver.sf.net ), and so i did.
After setting everything up, and the modules got installed. I stopped pcmcia-cs, and started it again.
Now here's the trouble:

It detects the wrong vcc, the card apparently reports 5v vcc, instead of the 3.3 that the card uses.
Thus i recieve the "RequestConfiguration: Bad Vcc" error.
And it halts (Wich is good, as it won't fry my card then).

Here's a bit of system information:
Code:
Dump_cis:

Socket 1:
  attr_dev_info
    fn_specific 250ns, 2kb
  manfid 0x0101, 0x0696
  funcid network_adapter
  vers_1 5.0, "3Com", "3CRSHPW_96 Wireless LAN PC Card"
  config base 0x0800 mask 0x0003 last_index 0x02
  cftable_entry 0x01 [default]
    [mwait] [pwrdown]
    Vcc Vnom 3300mV Iavg 250mA Ipeak 250mA Idown 25mA
    timing wait 12us
    io 0x0000-0x001f [lines=5] [16bit]
    irq mask 0xffb8

cardctl config 1:

root@laptux:~# cardctl config 1
  Vcc 5.0V  Vpp1 5.0V  Vpp2 5.0V

cardctl ident 1:

root@laptux:~# cardctl ident 1
  product info: "3Com", "3CRSHPW_96 Wireless LAN PC Card"
  manfid: 0x0101, 0x0696
  function: 6 (network)

Now as I believe the voltage (vcc) to be the problem, I was wondering if there is any way to bypas it, and force it to run on 3.3v?

Thanks in advance.
Anders
