Hi!
(I CC'd the main author email address)
I have trouble to getting my SMC WCB-G Cardbus wifi (atheros chipset)
working.
Try this:
Add 'pci=assign-busses' to your kernel load line in /etc/grub.conf.
First, I have nothing done, just compiled madwifi driver as a module,
and loaded ath_pci module. But in the dmesg was only these lines:
ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413,
RF5413)
wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn 1457)
ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (svn 1457)
ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn 1457)
Normaly there must be many more lines.
I have readed this page:
http://prinsig.se/weekee/index.php/PCMCIA_%28hw%29
original: http://www1.pacific.edu/~khughes/presario-r3120us/#credits
I have following the tutorial; I have done the setpci thing too, but not
appeared in lspci.
The main problem:
I have 2.6.16-rc4 kernel.
pcmcia-cs if <2.6.13
pcmciautils if >2.6.13-rc3
(found at this page: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian )
So I have pcmciautils package installed, and the howto its not really
appropriate. Anyway, if I start the '/etc/init.d/pcmciautils start', I
got this error message (under debian SID):
* No PCMCIA bridge module specified
The patch what is referenced at the author's webpage, is already closed,
there is a fix in the mainline kernel (>2.6.13). Here is the link:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2944
The initial problem, that I didnt have any info from my cardbus card:
buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia# pccardctl
insert
buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia# pccardctl

status
Socket 0:
3.3V 32-bit PC Card
Socket 1:
no card
buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia#
And the ath_pci module didnt created any wifi0/ath0 interface.
MY question is: Is it anybody around there with a Cardbus/pcmcia card
and >2.6.14 kernel? (pcmciautils package)
How can I make it work?
Any idea is really appreciated. Anyway, I will do a tutorial how to get
working a SMC WCB-G card (or any other atheros chipset card).
Best regards,
Khiraly
