Fortunately, I have already installed debian testing on my laptop, so there was no problem checking it out. Somehow, I still can't connect to a WPA-encrypted WLAN. The installation script (of the kernel?) told me there could be a problem with missing firmware but after reboot with 2.6.32 the card was able to scan for APs. Also, dmesg didn't print out any suspicious messages so I assume a firmware is loaded. dmesg: orinoco 0.15 (David Gibson <[email protected]>, Pavel Roskin <[email protected]>, et al) orinoco_cs 0.15 (David Gibson <[email protected]>, Pavel Roskin <[email protected]>, et al) orinoco_cs 1.0: Hardware identity 0002:0002:0005:0000 orinoco_cs 1.0: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:002a orinoco_cs 1.0: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 8.42 orinoco_cs 1.0: firmware: requesting agere_sta_fw.bin orinoco_cs 1.0: Hardware identity 0002:0002:0005:0000 orinoco_cs 1.0: Station identity 001f:0002:0009:0030 orinoco_cs 1.0: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 9.48 orinoco_cs 1.0: Ad-hoc demo mode supported orinoco_cs 1.0: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported orinoco_cs 1.0: WEP supported, 104-bit key orinoco_cs 1.0: WPA-PSK supported ifconfig lists the device correctly as eth2 (although I wish, it was marked as a wlan* device). lspci strangely doesn't list it - although my other WLAN-card is?!? Maybe it isn't because it's an old 16bit-PCMCIA-card? O.k. that's all about my card. Ask me if you want to know more about it... The kernel doesn't work too good on my Thinkpad A20p. It seems to crash randomly after a few minutes. This is my third attempt to write an email to you, but this time with a self-compiled 2.6.33-kernel. I guess I got to check out the new 2.6.34-kernel from the debian experimental repository, too! Greetings!
