Orinoco on Dell Different Problem

weazy · Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2003 6:11 pm Post subject: Orinoco on Dell Different Problem

I have compiled kernel with no PCMCIA Support, enabled Wireless LAN non-hamradio, no drivers.

make.conf has pcmcia

cardctl info shows:
PRODID_1="Agere Systems"
PRODID_2="Wireless PC Card Model 0111"
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0003
FUNCID=6

I created a hermes.conf file:
card "Wireless PC Card Model 0111"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0003
bind "orinoco_cs"

lsmod shows:
orinoco_cs 5012 0 (unused)
orinoco 42444 0 [orinoco_cs]
hermes 6532 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco]
ds 7464 1 [orinoco_cs]
i82365 41632 1
pcmcia_core 48544 0 [orinoco_cs ds i82365]

sg 30604 0 (unused)
sr_mod 18680 0 (unused)
scsi_mod 90228 3 [ide-scsi sg sr_mod]

cardmgr -f says
watching 1 socket: socket 0

i get two beeps, one high and one low.

eth1: firmware ALLOC bug detected (old Symbol firmware?). Trying to work around... failed!
eth1: Error -5 allocating Tx buffer
orinoco_cs: register_netdev() failed

when I boot with the card in the PCMCIA socket I see:
dev info socket 0 failed Resource (then it gets cut off at the edge of the screen)

the card is an Orinoco Gold 802.11b

I tried using prism2_cs modules but whenever I load the pcmcia device, it automatically loads orinoco, orinoco_cs and hermes. I assume it's becuase these are the appropriate drivers.

ifconfig does not see eth1
although I did make an entry in /etc/conf.d/net
and copied net.eth0 to net.eth1 also tried it with net.wlan0

any ideas on this one?

i called proxim. apparently the card i bought is based on a new chipset called Hermes2. They currently do not have drivers available for this chipset. Does anyone here know of any project that covers Hermes2?
