Does anyone have a Cisco AiroNet card working with Gentoo on a laptop? I did up until a week or so ago when it just stopped working for no particular reason. I get a high beep when pcmcia loads and then it is shortly followed by a lower beep. The syslog shows the following:
Mar 23 21:48:37 [kernel] airo: Probing for PCI adapters Mar 23 21:48:38 [kernel] airo: Doing fast bap_reads Mar 23 21:48:38 [kernel] airo: Max tries exceeded waiting for command I sometimes get a message indicating that it was unable to set MAC address. To the best of my recollection, I made no changes to the system that would have caused the interface to stop coming up -- it's possible that I turned on a kernel module for something like SMB prior to the card no longer working. I did it from the .config file that created the existing kernel and modules. I dual boot my laptop with Windows XP. The card continues to work perfectly under XP. I spent this past weekend building and re-building various kernels and pcmcia drivers, etc, etc. No luck. At best, I can get the lights on the card to turn on. But I still get no interface showing up. And I can't begin to tell you how painful a process that was using lilo and the NT boot loader (grub just refuses to behave whereas lilo always performs exactly as expected ... even if i have to reload it every time i rebuild the kernel). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The last time this happened (a few months back), I attributed it to an emerge system that I did without paying attention to consequences. I rebuilt, used the kernel drivers and everything worked nicely for a few months. I'd prefer not to rebuild from scratch again given how loooonnggg a process it is.
