Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-686
Version: 2.6.16-14
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've got an ALLNET 0192 pc-card:
PRODID_1="PCMCIA"
PRODID_2="11M WLAN Card v2.5"
PRODID_3="ISL37300P"
PRODID_4="RevA"
MANFID=0274,1612
This card is about three years old, and used to work with the
linux-wlan-ng drivers back in the days (and also with hostap when I
tried intermittedly). It is working fine on Ubuntu breezy (2.6.12)
using the orinoco_cs driver:
orinoco_cs 8936 1
orinoco 40748 1 orinoco_cs
hermes 7328 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco
pcmcia 27176 5 orinoco_cs
pcmcia_core 50788 4 orinoco_cs,pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic
On current unstable, both the hostap_cs and orinoco_cs drivers are
getting loaded, and they don't use pcmcia_core:
hostap_cs 53588 0
hostap 99140 1 hostap_cs
orinoco_cs 16420 0
orinoco 34452 1 orinoco_cs
hermes 7136 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco
firmware_class 9472 1 pcmcia
pcmcia 34844 2 hostap_cs,orinoco_cs
pcmcia_core 37232 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic

Jun 18 17:22:59 nighthawk kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
dhcp client is then called, but no offers recieved.
However, iwconfig shows reasonable (to me) output:
eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"Chemical Connections" Nickname:"Prism I"

Link Quality=92/92 Signal level=5/153 Noise level=107/153
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
On ifdown I get:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
If I add blacklist hostap{,_cs} to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, nothing
really changes except the hostap-specific lines in syslog go away, I
still don't get an IP.
Another thing I found in kern.log:
Jun 18 16:44:58 nighthawk kernel: eth1: Tx timeout! ALLOCFID=0123,
TXCOMPLFID=0122, EVSTAT=800b
Any idea what else I should try?
thanks,
Michael

The 2.6.17 kernel in makes my WLAN work again. However, still both
orinoco and hostap modules are loaded:
nighthawk~$ sudo lsmod | grep _cs
orinoco_cs 16068 1
orinoco 36180 1 orinoco_cs
hermes 7360 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco
pcmcia 34012 1 orinoco_cs
pcmcia_core 37300 4 orinoco_cs,pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic
Anyway, closing.
