I am trying to use a Linksys WPC11 (prtconf says pccard156,2) on an older laptop; Thinkpad 600e. FWIW, I must specify "-B acpi-user-options=2" to boot. I have disabled the serial, parallel, and ir ports to make available IRQs.
I installed Community Edition b33, then pcwl. It works for a few minutes, then the system freezes until I remove the card. Re-inserting it in that slot does not help. Attempting to use the network causes messages similar to these to be printed on the console: Mar 10 20:07:31 <host> pcwl: WARNING: set_cms 10b,10f err 7f0b Mar 10 20:12:29 <host> pcwl: WARNING: set_cms 11,f100 err 7f11 Sometimes there are many of these. I have cluelessly tried random commands such as unplumb/plumb and rem_drv/add_drv, to no avail. I can then insert the card into the other slot, and (sometimes) bring that one up, but the same thing happens after a few minutes of using the network. Do you have any tips for tracking down the cause of the hangs? PS. With this laptop, I have also tried a Netgear WG511T with the latest cardbus and ath drivers. Not only could I not connect to my wireless lan, but inexplicably, files became corrupted to the point that I had to reinstall B33. This message posted from opensolaris.org
