Hi,

i compiled my kernel without PCMCIA,
compiled pcmcia-cs.

So long so fine

When i start /etc/init.d/ pcmcia start

i result in watching 1 socket.

when i insert the card

3com airconnect 3crwe73796b

no driver loads (it sould be orinoco_cs)
when i try to load it manually it fails also.

The system trys to load hermes,orinoco and orinoco_cs

when i modprobe orinoco_cs

the systems tells me:

unresolved symbol hermes_init
orinoco.o failed
orinoco_cs failed

Anyone can give me a hint where to get other drivers and
how to compile them ?

Best Regards,

Rainer

Did you get anywhere on this one?

I just upgraded pcmcia-cs and have the same error message - it used to work fine :-)

.

My card is an SMC 2632W, fwiw.

My first approach will be to go back to the previous version of pcmcia-cs, I'll post my results here, but any other info would be appreciated.

Well, I'm stumped. I've been back to the old version (no joy), upgraded my kernel (no joy), gone back to the latest version (no joy) and now I am perplexed. Still the hermes_init error.

HELP!

Well, I emerged pcmcia-cs-3.2.1-r3.ebuild and after a bit of fooling around I think that I'm back to being stable.

I upgraded my kernel to the latest gentoo-sources while I was at it, one of the many things I tried (and each time I did a make modules_install, yup, I had to reemerge the alsadriver :-)

hope this helps someone, I'm not desperately posting to get beyond "noob" state :-)
