Hi to all, Well I guess the subject if this message says it all: I was running happily my wireless PCMCIA Netgear MA401RA card since 3 years on my Debian Sid/2.6.5/Sony Vaio PCG-K13Q laptop when suddenly, it stopped working just after I did a dist-upgrade yesterday (October 21). Before, when I was inserting the card, I had a "deep deep" sound and right after, I was up and running with my wireless connection. Now, I get a "deep doop" sound, and no connection. However, the card seems to still be recognized: doing a "cardctl ident" at root gives me this:
Socket 0: product info: "NETGEAR MA401RA Wireless PC", "Card", "ISL37300P", "Eval-RevA" manfid: 0x000b, 0x7300 function: 6 (network) Here's some more info: - pcmcia-cs, linux-wlan-ng and wireless-tools packages ared installed; -pcmcia_core, orinoco_cs, orinoco, ds, yenta-socket and modules are loaded at boot, by way of /etc/modules; -in /etc/pcmcia/config file, I can find the following lines: card "Netgear MA401RA Wireless Adapter" version "NETGEAR MA401RA Wireless PC", "Card" bind "orinoco_cs" Also, I can get a wireless network connection with the built-in (but less reliable and more slower) Atheros Madwifi card. When I did the dist-upgrade, I observed that the hotplug package had to be removed, because of incompatiblity with udev and hal packages. I tried to reinstalled hotplug, but without results. I'm a little bit clueless right now... Someone can help me solving this. Thanks. -- Marco Laverdière
