 Hello,

 rtw0: ver RTL8185,
 rtw0: could not recall EEPROM in 1us
 rtw0: could not recall EEPROM in 1us

 Does this mean that the card is not supported at the
 moment.  It is surecom 9321g/2A

I just got an email from surecom telling me that the chip in their
9321g is a ralink.  The docs are available here:
http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm

I think the chip is a RT2500, but I'm not certain.  Interesting that
rtw shows up in the dmesg.

http://www.surecom-net.com/pd-wireless-9321-g_g1.htm says 
update:20050913 2A. I guess this means that the 2A was introduced 
last month and the specs are different to the older version, otherwise 
there'd be no need for an update.


Comparing with the version at archive.org shows the newer card has 
worse sensitivity and more output power. This could easily be 
consistent with a change of chipset.

I never heard a report of the original 802.11b rtw
PCI cards actually working.  For RTL8185 the
code to talk to the RF tranceiver is not yet working,
so it can not possibly work right now.

This is the first I've heard of RTL8185 products being
available in the retail market.

So no, not supported for the moment.

Is it true?  Drool...

 I never heard a report of the original 802.11b rtw
 PCI cards actually working.

I have one that works:
rtw0 at pci2 dev 5 function 0 D-Link Systems DWL-610 rev 0x20: irq 12
rtw0: ver RTL8180F, radio SA2400A, amp SA2411, address xx:xx:xx:xx

Unfortunately, these cards are a little hard to find new :-(

 This is the first I've heard of RTL8185 products being
 available in the retail market.

Yes, me too.  Finally!
