I have WPA working with a agere/orinoco card the steps required are: 1. Use a 2.6.28 (or above) kernel (I am using linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic from Jaunty 9.04 on an Intrepid system). 2. Copy "agere_sta_fw.bin" (the uncorrupted 65046 bytes version) into /lib/firmware/ 3. Eject and re-insert the card (sudo pccardctl eject; sudo pccardctl insert), dmesg should now report that the firmware has loaded and that the card can do WPA
I found that WPA2 does not work so you may need to set you access point to 'WPA/WPA2 personal' or 'WPA personal'. I have only tested the card with two routers, a Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware and a Linksys WRT54G v5, once these routers were set to 'WPA/WPA2' they both worked without issue (with wicd set to use the wext driver). It may be worth trying a different router as it maybe the Orinoco Silver/Gold card does not like your router for some reason. -- Kernel oops loading Agere firmware (orinoco module) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
