[Cooker] Still not able to shut down pcmcia.
Hi, I have been struggling with all the 2.4.22 kernels since I am not able to shut down pcmcia. This means I need to hard reset my laptop every time I want to turn it off.

Well, AFAIK, it's not limited to wireless cards (it happened on my laptop with a PCMCIA 100MB NIC), it didn't happen in 2.4.21-6mdk (which I am running currently after doing an install of beta2). I only have PCMCIA wireless cards, so I am not able to try anything else, but I do not think it has to do with the card. I think it's pcmcia_cs and/or the kernel. It does not happen when I run my old 2.4.21-25 kernel. Regards, Buchan -- //Christian Registered Linux User #228949 at: http://counter.li.org/ -- What if it all means something? --
Re: [Cooker] Wireless car intialization failed : ifplugd stops
Hi, I would just like to confirm that I have the exact same two problems with my wireless connection. I have even tried with two different wireless cards. It makes no difference. I do not run KDE, but the problems are exactly the same: The connection dies as soon I log into my WM (Pekwm). I have to restart the network services. And when I try to halt the machine the wireless connection won't die without a hard reset of the laptop. The connection itself works fine. I booted my old 2.4.21 kernel from 9.1 and these problems are gone. The problems are present in all 2.4.22 kernels I have tried with Cooker.

[Cooker] Trouble shutting down cleanly.

[Cooker] Wireless connection lost after boot.
Hi, when I boot my wireless card eth1 (and built in network card eepro100 on eth0) come up correctly. However, a few seconds after I am logged into my wm the connection is lost again. I have to restart the network service to have it come up again. I am able to connect to the Internet for about 5 sec before the connection is lost. I have tried with two different wireless cards, same problem with both of them. It's also strange that DrakConnect detects the card as a Tekram card when it actually is a Linksys WPC11. It works fine though, and a cardctl ident detects it as as what it is. I am running full Cooker with all the packages from today and the 2.4.22 kernel.

Try to shutdown your network first, then shutdown the computer. If it works, it's network driver that has problems... I tried to shut down the network. No problem. But the pcmcia service won't shut down. I guess that's the problem? It just hangs there doing nothing. I tried to reboot without pcmcia enabled without problems. wich brings me to the next question... what wireless network card / driver are you using? I tried with two different wireless network cards: Linksys WPC11 and a Proxim RangeLAN-DS. They both use the orinoco_cs driver. Another oddity is that when I boot the machine I have to restart the network for the wireless card to connect. I didn't have to do that in stock 9.1 It also shows up as a Tekram card in the graphical boot window. However if I do a cardctl ident after boot it shows up as what it is: A Linksys WPC11 card. If it don't, try to shutdown network / pcmcia, and unplug your card, then shutdown... Does it work? Nope, the pcmcia service won't shut down. Thomas -- //Christian
[Cooker] pcmcia service and network won't shut down.
Hi, I am running Cooker with all the latest updates as of today with the 2.4.22 kernel. When I shut down the pcmcia service won't die and I am left with tons of: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = 2 I have to hard reset the laptop. I am not able to shut down pcmcia manually either. If I try it just hangs. I have two network devices. One is the built in Intel eepro 100 card, the other a wireles Linksys WPC11 card. I tried with another wireless card also, a Proxim card. If I boot a 2.4.21 kernel the problem goes away. Another oddity is that Mandrake detects the Linksys card as a Tekram AIR.mate PCF 200 Wireless LAN card. Doing a cardctl ident detects the card for what it is though. Both cards I tried works fine though. I use reiserfs. Ideas? -- //Christian Registered Linux User #228949 at: http://counter.li.org/ -- What if it all means something? --
