Hi list, I'm trying to get an Orinoco Gold wireless pc card to work on a Dell Latitude. When the system boots it gives one high beep and one low beep. Think that means the card was identified but could not be configured.
eth0 shows a check mark on the boot display but doing ifconfig shows only the lo interface. PCMCIA is installed: kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.17-21mdk, and a PCMCIA phone modem works. Doing "cardctl ident" gives me: Socket 0: product info: "Lucent Technologies", "Wavelan/IEEE", Version 01.01", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0X0002 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available /etc/pcmcia/config.opts has this line uncommented: module "wvlan_cs" opts "network_name=\"xxxxxx\" key_1=\"xxxxx\" enable_encryption=y" (I x'ed out the network name and key on this email) /etc/pcmcia/config includes these listings: Under Device driver definitions: device "wavelan_cs" class "network" module "wavelan_cs" device "wvlan_cs" class "network" module "wvlan_cs" Under Wireless network adapters: card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN Adapter" version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/PCMCIA" bind "wavelan_cs" card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter" version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE" bind "wvlan_cs" /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/pcmcia has: wavelan_cs.o, wvlan_cs.o This is from /var/log/messages: localhost pcmcia: Starting PCMCIA services: localhost pcmcia: modules localhost pcmcia: cardmgr. localhost cardmgr[235]: starting, version is 3.1.20 localhost rc: Starting pcmcia: succeeded localhost cardmgr[235]: initializing socket 0 localhost cardmgr[235]: executing: 'modprobe wvlan_cs network_name=\"xxxxxx\" key_1=\xxxxx\" enable_encryption=y' localhost network: Setting network parameters: succeeded localhost cardmgr[235]: + /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/pcmcia/wvlan_cs.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/pcmcia/wvlan_cs.o failed localhost cardmgr[235]: modprobe exited with status 255 localhost cardmgr[235]: + /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/pcmcia/wvlan_cs.o: invalid parameter parm_key_1 localhost network: Bringing up interface lo: succeeded localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 192.168.1.60 localhost ifup: SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 192.168.1.60 localhost ifup: SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 192.168.1.60 localhost ifup: 192.168.1.60: unknown interface: No such device (clipped ifup usage messages) localhost ifup: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable localhost network: Bringing up interface eth0: succeeded localhost cardmgr[235]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable I've been working on this for days. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Mike
