Hello,

I bought a Compaq iPaq H3650 to install Plan 9.

After some difficulties, I successfully compiled 9bitsy
and paqdisk from a current Plan 9.
Plan 9 is now running fine on my Bitsy.

I also tried old 9bitsy and paqdisk from John and Nemo,
they are working well too.

As recommended, I also bought a Lucent ORiNOCO Classic
Gold PC Card to use Wi-Fi.

However, I haven't succeeded to make the Wi-Fi work on
my Bitsy.

During the boot, I can see some error messages on the
serial console:

increfp 0
increfp full power
wavelanreset, iob 0xa0204000
#l0: exec#l0: init failed
ing cmd 0000: 0000
echo: write error: couldn't configure devdecrefp 0

increfp power down
bind: #l0: no free devices
ipconfig: /net/ipifc/clone: bind ether /net/ether0:
'/net/ether0' file does not exist
ndb/dns: can't read my ip address

The card seems to be visible from Plan 9:

bitsy# grep Wave /dev/pcm0ctl
version Lucent Technologies;WaveLAN/IEEE;Version 01.01;

I tried manually to run the card, but I get these error
messages again:

bitsy# echo -n 'configure #l0 wavelan' > /dev/pcm0ctl
echo: write error: couldn't configure device
bitsy# bind -a '#l0' /net
bind: #l0: no free devices

I get exactly the same errors from Nemo's (May 2003) and
John's (March 2004) 9bitsy and paqdisk.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you.
