 Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2003 5:23 pm Post subject: 2 PCMCIA Sockets together for Wireless Cards |
 |
|
Hi, I'd like to configure two wireless cards in two different PCMCIA-PCI-Sockets for my PC (Fujitsu SIEMENS Tower). I have them up and running but one of the cards does act real strange. I'm compleetle running out of ideas.  I would be very happy if somebody of you could help me with a hint.
I'm using the following hardware:
DWL-650 in a Ricoh RL5C475, slot 2
A Compaq WL100 in a TI 1410, slot 7
BIOS Settings for PCI:
every slot on Auto, slot 2 set to IRQ7, slot 7 set to IRQ11
sound, serial, usb disabled for freeing up some IRQs
no PNP OS options.
kernel:

Both cards work properly if I insert them into the TI 1410 Socket. (That means they get an IP from my Accesspoint)
This is the WL100 in the non working socket (socket 0=Ricoh RL5C475):

Symptoms:

the interface gets the correct AP-MAC but does not send or recieve any other things, it say's it has a few errorrs(9 in my quote)

The Card in the Socket 1 works fine with the dhcpd command and gets his IP.
This is the Socketloading part from the dmesg:

Because of the following message i first thought that the socket TI-Socket would not be properly working:
| Quote: |
ISA irqs (scanned) = none!<6> PCI card interrupts, PCI status
|
But actually the card on IRQ 11 (Infos taken from the ifconfig output) works fine.
Because of
| Quote: |
Ricoh RL5C475 rev 80 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 02:05, mem 0xd0500000
host opts [0]: [isa irq] [io 3/6/1] [mem 3/6/1] [pci irq 7] [lat 64/176]
|
I tried to load the orinoco-module by modprobe orinoco_cs irq_list=7 directly to irq7 instead of irq3 that is shown in the ifconfig output. Because the TI 1410 works fine if the ifconfig output of the wlan0 interface has the same IRQ(11) like the one in the dmesg output:

|
a few more infos:
i had the kernel loaded with and without the pci=biosirq mode.
in /etc/conf.d/pcmcia I have:
| Quote: |
# Put cardmgr options here
CARDMGR_OPTS="-f"
# To set the PCMCIA scheme at startup...
SCHEME="home"
# These are from the pcmcia-cs distribution, but aren't used yet
# Should be either i82365 or tcic
PCIC="i82365 tcic"
#PCIC="tcic"
# Put socket driver timing parameters here
# PCIC_OPTS="extra_sockets=1 irq_mode=1"
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=0"
# Put pcmcia_core options here
CORE_OPTS=""
|
I already tryed extra_sockets but it's more for ISA cards then PCI.
The command "lspci -vvv" showed me the irqs of the cards:

so I tried to insert the orinoco_cs for the compaq card manually by

...so the output of the ls_pci was much better:-/ :

but ther was no interface eth1 anymore in the "ifconfig -a" output. But the module seemed to be loaded without problems:

a reload of the pcmcia put it back to irq3: (i think because of reloading the modules without parameters, by the way where can i set the parameters for the loading of the modules?)

For any hint or suggestion that would help I would be very happy  and if I missed to give some essential information please ask and let me be your eyes. I'm quite new to gentoo but I try hard to get somewhere. Hope I did not break kind of "no post with more then 100 line" -rule, but I thought I should give you as much information I have.
Thank you, Spikey |
