Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-17
Description: Plugging in my Asus W-100 Wireless lan card does not result
in a working network connection. Cardinfo can tell that it's there,
dmesg doesn't report that it's been plugged in.
The source of the problem is that /etc/pcmcia/config contains the
correct card information, as follows:
card "ASUS SpaceLink WL-100"
manfid 0x02aa, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"
but in when it gets to the fifth from last line,
source ./*.conf
that correct information is superceded by this information in
wlan-ng.conf, which is incorrect:
card "ASUS WL-100 802.11b WLAN PC Card"
version "ASUS", "802_11b_PC_CARD_25"
bind "prism2_cs"
I only have the orinoco modules, not the prism modules, on my system;
my understanding was that the Orinoco modules had completely replaced
the older prism2 modules.
Deleting those last three lines from wlan-ng.conf and restarting
the hotplug services solves the problem, and now my wireless lan
works correctly right away.
My laptop is a Knoppix-3.7 install that has been upgraded to
Debian Sid.
