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0x0002 bind "orinoco_cs" but in when it gets to the fifth from last line, source ./*.conf that correct information is superceded by this information in wlan-ng.conf, which is incorrect: card "ASUS WL-100 802.11b WLAN PC Card" version "ASUS", "802_11b_PC_CARD_25" bind "prism2_cs" I only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. -- Mike Hoye -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
