mini-PCI Cards dont work

2003-06-08 Thread Torsten Kötting
Hi there,

i installed RC5.1 on my laptop 1 week ago. It works fine so far but the
mini-PCI wlan card doesnt work.
Its a Cisco Aironet 350. The driver does find the card but when I activate
its interface an0 I get a timeout message, the cpu-load jumps to 100% and I
need to reset the laptop. After checking several mailarchives and trying
older firmwares for the MPI350 without having any success I thought I give
up on the MPI350 and buy an Orinoco wlan card, again MiniPCI. I was sure I
have solved my probs now but I was wrong. Exactly the same problem appears
now with the Orinoco Card. The Driver finds it, after activating the wi0
interface the system crashes.
I dont know what to do now :/ both card work fine in the XP-Installation on
the same laptop, but I finally wanted to get rid of windows and installing
FreeBSD was supposed to be the final attempt. Its a Gericom laptop build on
standart desktop hardware, SIS645DX chipset. I compiled a new kernel with a
mini-configuration but it didnt help.
Please help ...

.. thanks in advance

These are classic interrupt storm symptoms.  For some reason, we're

Hello,

: After checking several mailarchives and trying

give
: up on the MPI350 and buy an Orinoco wlan card, again MiniPCI. I was sure
I
: have solved my probs now but I was wrong. Exactly the same problem
appears
: now with the Orinoco Card. The Driver finds it, after activating the wi0
: interface the system crashes.

What was the crash?  I've has issues with my minipci orinoco card that
I've not been able to fully nail down.

sorry, i dont know what exactly causes the crash.
After activating the interface wi0 the system freezes not showing any
messages anymore ...
Interesting was that the Orinoco card was'nt found when i was using my
custom-mini kernel which had all the PC-Card stuff disabled. I thought the
accessability of the mini-PCI slot doesnt depend on any PC-Card drivers ...

thanks for help

Torsten

The orinoco cards are a pci - cardbus bridge + guts of a lucent gold
card condenced down onto a mini-pci form factor.  So that makes
perfect sence that it wouldn't work.
