[leaf-user] WISP-DIST hostap_plx issues
Hello all- I am having a strange issue with my Prism 2.5 card (USR 2445)... Unfortunately my WISP box is sufficiently fubar'ed that it really didn't provide much good diagnostic information, so I threw it into my RH7.3 box and got the following: hermes.c: 16 Jan 2002 David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> orinoco.c 0.09b (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others) orinoco_plx.c 0.09b (Daniel Barlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) orinoco_plx: CIS: 5201:CA03:5600:F800:85FF:C817:2A04:8A67:7C5A:CE08:7EFF:801D:A505:C603:E567:C85A: orinoco_plx: Local Interrupt already enabled Detected Orinoco/Prism2 PLX device at 00:0d.0 irq:9, io addr:0xf080 eth1: Station identity 001f:0009:0001:0004 eth1: Looks like an Intersil firmware version 1.04 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth1: MAC address 00:90:D1:06:19:A7 eth1: Station name "Prism I" eth1: ready eth1: Channel out of range (0)! eth1: Channel out of range (0)! hermes @ 0xf080: Timeout waiting for card to reset (reg=0x8000)! eth1: orinoco_reset failed in orinoco_plx_open()<3>eth0: Bus master arbitration failure, status 88f3. I've been on hold all night with USR about the problem, but of course as soon as I said "linux", I was off their diagnostic chart and they refused to help until I had installed Windows (like that'll happen). I'm going to take the card to work and try it in one of our Windows 2000 laptops, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem might be...

Re: [leaf-user] WISP-DIST hostap_plx issues
Unfortunately debug from orinoco_plx is not of much help for me, as I never used it. Please give messages from hostap_plx if you can.
