Le 16/04/2002 à 18:57 +0100, Mike Starnes a bien voulu m'écrire : messages about eth0. Orinoco's instructions say to make an ifcfg-eth0 file like this: *,*,*,*) IF_PORT= BOOTP=n IPADDR=10.0.0.5 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 GATEWAY=10.0.0.1 DOMAIN=domain.org DNS_1=dns1.domain.org ;; This causes errors like: Hi ! That doesn't seem to be a ifcfg-eth0 syntax, but a etc/pcmcia/network.opts... You should carefully the PCMCIA-Howto (http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net) and all documentation you can find. But don't forget that Red Hat (and, I think, Mandrake too) doesn't use the normal PCMCIA scripts, but their own scripts : my Ad-Hoc network is now working, and I did no set the /etc/pcmcia files... I only looked and the ifcfg-eth0 et ifcfg-eth1, and ifup-wireless. ifup-wireless gives to iwconfig the arguments it found in ifcfg-ethx... If you want, I can send you my configuration files... Try man iwconfig ! I don't understand what they are trying to do with the *,*,*,*) or the Something to do with the MAC adress, I think. N. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Le 16/04/2002 à 23:07 +0100, Mike Starnes a bien voulu m'écrire : Thanks, but think I've tried this, unless I did something wrong. Got to the step make config then it wants to know where the kernel source is. I don't have the kernel source and don't know where to find it for a 2.2.17 kernel. Is it trying to recompile the kernel? Here is what happens: Nope, it just need the source-header of the kernel. But with my Mdk 8.2 just out of box, it doesn't compile (complaining about missing *.d files, and directory that doesn't exist). But as I said, you don't need to do that again ; the Mdk distribution comes with all tools and drivers pre-installed, but cannot set up correctly the ifcfg-ethx files... The package kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.17-21mdk is installed and I think the card is loading upon boot. Do you hear TWO high beeps at the boot ? And how does the leds blinks ? In the Orinoco README files, you'll find explanation about the leds and their meaning. One should be always on, and the other should blink. N. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Orinoco wireless and MDK 7.2
Hi Nicolas and all, I have an RG-1100 in bridge mode connected to a lan and trying to have the laptop with an Orinoco Gold card connect to the lan. I make some progress. Looks like the wireless card is loading but I get error messages about eth0. Orinoco's instructions say to make an ifcfg-eth0 file like this: *,*,*,*) IF_PORT= BOOTP=n IPADDR=10.0.0.5 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 GATEWAY=10.0.0.1 DOMAIN=domain.org DNS_1=dns1.domain.org ;; This causes errors like: localhost ifup: ./ifup: ifcfg-eth0: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `*,*,*,*)' localhost ifup: ./ifup: ifcfg-eth0: line 1: `*,*,*,*)' localhost ifup: ipcalc: ip address expected localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locat module netmask localhost ifup: netmask: unknown interface: No such device localhost ifup: netmask: Hostname lookup failure localhost ifup: SIOCADDRT: No such device I don't understand what they are trying to do with the *,*,*,*) or the parameters in quote marks or the ;; at the end.

Those are coming from /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts file...You need wireless-tools to load your card. There in wireless-tools is commandprogram named iwconfig what handles wireless.opts.

RE: [expert] Orinoco wireless and MDK 7.2
ok go here http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/ download the pcmcia-cs-3.1.30.tar.gz, that's the one I have and it works. Then go to the Orinoco web site and download the Linux driver, the latest one. here http://www.orinocowireless.com/ find the client products and download the driver. Next you un tar the pcmcia-cs-3.1.30 and cp the Orinoco drive file, still zipped up in that directory and then untar it. The file is a WLL something or other. Once this is done read the README file there are 3 of them, you have to run a ./Build and a ./Install it will ask you to point stuff to where the Linux directory is, you might want to know exactly where that file is. I accepted all the defaults and then cd to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ ./pcmcia restart and a ./network restart sometime I had to do this twice and I was on line..

Re: [expert] Orinoco wireless and MDK 7.2
Thanks, but think I've tried this, unless I did something wrong. Got to the step make config then it wants to know where the kernel source is. I don't have the kernel source and don't know where to find it for a 2.2.17 kernel. Is it trying to recompile the kernel? Here is what happens: root# make config --Linux PCMCIA Configuration Script--- The default responses for each question are correct for most users. Consult the PCMCIA-HOWTO for additional info about each option. Linux source tree directory [/usr/src/linux]: Linux source tree /usr/src/linux is incomplete or missing! The kernel headers are present but, not the full source code. See the HOWTO for a list of FTP sites for current kernel sources. Configuration failed. make: *** [config] Error 1 root# Someone said to try it as user but that gave the same result. The package kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.17-21mdk is installed and I think the card is loading upon boot. But I can't get an ifcfg-eth0 file to work. In /var/log/messages there are lines showing the card loaded ok but lots of errors about eth0. Maybe I've made some stupid assumption somewhere. If you think so let me know.

RE: [expert] Orinoco wireless and MDK 7.2
do a locate -i on your linux kernel and make sure its pointing to the right file. Im not sure what else to do besides that. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
