Does anyone have any experience with the wireless pcmcia card driver orinoco.o & orinoco_cs.o?
I've been running Debian-testing with my custom kernel 2.4.17 and pcmcia-cs-3.1.29 and the wireless card driver wvlan_cs.o wvlan_cs.o was the driver of choice some years ago, but I understand that the orinoco driver is supposed to the better one to use (more support especially for WEP). Unfortunately when I tried to use this it didn't like me. I noticed two problems/incidents that might be of use: While compiling /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.29/wireless directory I recevied: make all cc -MD -c -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -pipe -I../include/static -I/usr/src/linux/include -I../include -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -DEXPORT_SYMTAB orinoco.c In file included from orinoco.c:198: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/malloc.h:4: warning: #warning linux/malloc.h is deprecated, use linux/slab.h instead. cc -MD -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -pipe -I../include/static -I/usr/src/linux/include -I../include -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -c orinoco_cs.c In file included from orinoco_cs.c:21: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/malloc.h:4: warning: #warning linux/malloc.h is deprecated, use linux/slab.h instead. ------ It's warning, not a death sentence right? after moving orinoco.o and orinoco_cs.o to /lib/modules/2.4.17-10/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ and linking them (ln -s ...) to /lib/modules/2.4.17/pcmcia/ depmod -a give me: depmod -a depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.17-1.0/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/orinoco.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.17-1.0/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/orinoco_cs.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.17-1.0/pcmcia/orinoco.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.17-1.0/pcmcia/orinoco_cs.o thorin:/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.29/wireless# Is this another warning, or a death sentence? I have not gone so far as to try and run these modules in place of the wvlan_cs modules for my network card as I am guessing that it won't work here.
