Hello, [this email is send to two mailing lists, as I think both can help. And, yes, I read both, so no need to CC to me]
I have just buy a wireless "starter-kit" from USR which contain two PCMCIA card
an a PCI adapter for one of the PCMCIA card.
OK, I'm new to wireless (this is my first installation). After some surf on the
web, it seems I have at least two possibility for this "PCI-version" :
- use the orinoco_plx driver
- use the prism2_plx driver from linux-wlan-ng.
Now, the "good" part ;-) :
I want to install the "PCI-version" on an SPARC Ultra 10 running Debian. :-)
The first try of orinoco_plx cause problems with the kernel, so I downloaded
the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.16-pre5 version. Unfortunalty, the __sparc__ CPU is not
supported. :-(
I have try to add some code in src/include/wlan/wlan_compat.h, and after some
"hack" for compiling (use sparc64-linux-gcc, use ld with the correct flags,
...), I have now a module prism2_plx. Cool. :-)
But, it don't work (I think it's normal, my the modification of the
wlan_compat.h seems too simple : just add some new #define ...SPARC... x)
Now, when I load the module I have in the logs (really close to the test with
orinoco_plx) :

And the lsmod give me :
prism2_plx 90312 (initializing)
p80211 22144 0 [prism2_plx]
...
I'm ready to check/compile/test anything, as I really want to have it working
on the SPARC system. So, if someone can help me, I will be very happy.
Another information who can be usefull:
