| As you say, I added wireutil.lrp on my system. But nothing changed.
|
| In redhat7.3, same error message is occured, but it is doing well as a
gateway.
| ping and masquerading is ok.
| error messages are "eth1:Tx error status 4(FID=01E2)" at boot time, and
"eth1:
| Tx error status 1(FID=017E), eth1:Tx error status 1(FID=0xxx)" at ping
time continually.
|
| my logs in /var/log/ is changed.
|
| "syslog" for example

Hi,

Now what I find interesting is this from my log, using an ISA-PCMCIA adapter
(Ricoh) and a Lucent silver card:

Jul  9 13:33:51 firewall kernel:   kernel build: 2.4.18 #9 Sun Apr 7

Jul  9 13:33:52 firewall cardmgr[8507]: socket 0: Lucent Technologies
Wavelan/IEEE

Notice that cardmgr detects that I have a Lucent card in the socket.  Your
log shows:

Jul 10 08:39:21 firewall cardmgr[700]: socket 0: Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps
Wireless Adapter

The Lucent is NOT a PRISM2 card.  The orinoco_cs driver will work with many
PRISM2 cards, but I think what this suggests is that the /etc/pcmcia/config
file is being checked and the wrong card is found.  I don't know if that is
causing your problem, but who knows ;-).  I had my configuration miss my
card at first too, so I deleted all the extra entries from the file...
didn't need the other stuff anyway as I won't be using other cards.  It
eventually settled on using the right entry.

I've pasted in stuff I snipped prematurely from the original post:

I don't have a network.opts file... did you have one installed automatically
with RC2 or did you port some of this stuff from a 'regular' linux box?
These entries are serving the same purpose, but I *think* wireless.opts will
take precedence.

What does executing 'iwconfig' tell you?

I'm about out of ideas... hopefully someone that knows what they're doing
will jump in and tell us where I'm wrong ;-)
