Bug#536594: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686: PCMCIA failure

[Mike Marsh]

Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686
Version: 2.6.30-1
Severity: normal

I've had a problem with my PCMCIA wireless card in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30.
On boot, in 2.6.29 I get a kernel panic when the card is detected, and
in 2.6.30 it just hangs at that point.  If I boot without the card and
then insert it, the hardware address is messed up.  Instead of
12:34:56:78:9A:BC iwconfig reports it as 12-34-56-78-9A-BC-XX-XX, where
the Xs constantly change.  That's on eth0; wlan0_rename shows the correct
address.

The card is an old 802.11b Netgear, with dmesg reporting:
[   12.064260] orinoco_cs 0.15 (David Gibson her...@gibson.dropbear.id.au, 
Pavel Roskin pro...@gnu.org, et al)
[   12.300688] eth0: Hardware identity 800c::0001:

The system info attached shows my kernel as 2.6.26, because that's the
version I have where my wireless works.

Bug#424861: linux-image-2.6-686: can't install kernel in sid

[Mike Marsh]

Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.17-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The dependency for linux-image-2.6-686 in sid is wrong.  It's depending
on a kernel that's no longer available.  I can't upgrade my system
because of this.

There's another bug report from two weeks ago on this, but it's never
even been acknowledged, so I'm trying to nudge *someone* into taking a
look at this.  I don't know the packaging system particulars, but this
can't be a difficult problem to fix.
