I'm trying to get a brand new Prism 2.5 based 802.11b wireless ethernet card to work with Linux 2.6.3 (Netgear MA311) on Sid.
The wireless-tools package installed. When I insert the required drivers into the kernel (orinoco_pci, orinoco, and hermes), I get these messages: orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others) orinoco_pci.c 0.13e (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> & Jean Tourrilhes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:02:0b.0 Detected Orinoco/Prism2 PCI device at 0000:02:0b.0, mem:0xF47FF000 to 0xF47FFFFF -> 0xe080d000, irq:11 Reset done..<7>orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=d2f03800) .............<7>orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=d2f03800) (repeated 17 more times) Clear Reset.....<7>orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=d2f03800) .............<7>orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=d2f03800) (repeated 20-something more times) .; pci_cor : reg = 0x0 - 75286D9 - 75284E5 orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=d2f03800) (repeated 13 more times) eth1: Station identity 001f:0006:0001:0003 eth1: Looks like an Intersil firmware version 1.3.6 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth1: MAC address 00:09:5B:67:95:0D eth1: Station name "Prism I" orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=d2f03800) eth1: ready With /etc/network/interfaces set up thus: iface eth1 inet dhcp name Wireless Ethernet LAN Card wireless_essid 203cfr wireless_mode managed wireless_channel 6 wireless_ap auto ifup eth1 gives me this output: Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

No working leases in persistent database. Sleeping. After rebooting and trying again, I got several of this error instead: hermes @ MEM 0xe090a000: Error -16 issuing command. hermes @ MEM 0xe090a000: Error -16 issuing command. hermes @ MEM 0xe090a000: Error -16 issuing command. which repeated until I ran `modprobe -r orinoco_pci` So, can anyone help me debug this problem? The card works fine under Windows XP on the same machine. Thanks, Jonathan Brandmeyer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
