tired of wireless + WEP... uff
Dear Kernel People Please advise... Long ago when I didn't use WEP I had my intenal (Network controller: Intersil Corporation: Unknown device 3872) and pcmcia belkin F5D6020 (probably version 1) working as charm wo tweeking (although I thought I had to set RTS to 256 or call cardctl reset from time to time...) Then I moved to Netgear WG511 using prism54 driver. Everything was working well till (after some of the upgrades around 2.6.7-8) it start freezing up my laptop completely. Although SysRq combination still can reboot it, nothing else works. First I thought that it has something to do with hardware (I got inside the laptop couple of times either to fix LCD or touchpad or fan) because it seem to coincide with movement of laptop -- I move it and it dies... but it died couple of times without any physical effect... also it doesn't die with other kinds of pcmcia wireless cards but died with the same model when I exchanged it... Then I switched to my internal card and I came back to issues which seems to be general for my laptop and pcmcia orinoco cards because I've tried belkin as well and after 1-2 minutes of work they start start reporting Mar 14 21:56:28 localhost kernel: eth3: Error -16 transmitting packet Mar 14 21:56:28 localhost kernel: hermes @ IO 0x100: Error -16 issuing command. syslog and cardmgr become busy as hell... laptop becomes useless... I had to take Belkin card away from slot but here are some details: (I'm running 2.6.11.3 at the moment) eth3: Station identity 001f:0003::0008 eth3: Looks like an Intersil firmware version 0.8.3 eth3: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth3: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth3: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth3: MAC address 00:30:BD:61:20:D9 eth3: Station name "Prism I" eth3: ready eth3: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f eth3: New link status: Connected (0001) Socket 0: product info: "Belkin", "11Mbps Wireless Notebook Network Adapter", "Version 01.02", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) Socket 0: dev_info NULL 0ns, 512b attr_dev_info SRAM 500ns, 1kb vers_1 5.0, "Belkin", "11Mbps Wireless Notebook Network Adapter", "Version 01.02", "" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 funcid network_adapter lan_technology wireless lan_speed 1 mb/sec lan_speed 2 mb/sec lan_speed 5 mb/sec lan_speed 11 mb/sec lan_media 2.4_GHz lan_node_id 00 30 bd 61 20 d9 lan_connector Closed connector standard config base 0x03e0 mask 0x0001 last_index 0x01 cftable_entry 0x01 [default] Vcc Vmin 4750mV Vmax 5250mV Iavg 300mA Ipeak 300mA Idown 10mA io 0x-0x003f [lines=6] [16bit] irq mask 0x [level] [pulse] Please advise on where to look for reasons of this weird behavior...
