It looks like this bug is resolved according to JohnHills comment #2. The message Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support manual roaming is indicative of bug #498336 where the card fails to work with the uncorrupted firmware.

Hi JohnHills, Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux 315489 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

in my IBM X32 with Karmic and 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT if I dont have the agere_sta_fw.bin installed it complains that it cannot download it. Nevertheless it connects to my home wifi (with password) with no problem. However I cannot connect to other networks which are open. Iwlist just does not see them.

[Bug 315489] Re: Kernel oops loading Agere firmware (orinoco module)
I had this problem (or a similar one) in Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. It ended up being two problems, and I will detail my solution below. 1. You do need to download the correct firmware, which I downloaded from http://marc.info/?l=orinoco-develm=121078835610877q=p3 in tar format, extracted, and renamed appropriately. It is now attached to this post. After putting this file in /lib/firmware/ (and making sure the permissions were 644, and owned by root.root), I restarted and sure enough dmesg did pick up the new firmware and told me it was WPA enabled. To test this, do a 'dmesg | grep WPA', and you should see a response such as eth1: WPA-PSK supported. 2. My card in particular was still giving me problems, as I could not connect to my home network (which was in WPA mode). Specifically, I was getting the error Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support manual roaming. On a whim, I changed the WPA encryption from AES to TKIP, and now I am able to connect without an issue! I want to give a special thanks to Dave Kilroyd (I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly), who did all the work on the firmware for the orinoco wireless card. ** Attachment added: agere_sta_fw.bin http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37911146/agere_sta_fw.bin -- Kernel oops loading Agere firmware (orinoco module) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 315489] Re: Kernel oops loading Agere firmware (orinoco module)
I have WPA working with a agere/orinoco card the steps required are: 1. Use a 2.6.28 (or above) kernel (I am using linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic from Jaunty 9.04 on an Intrepid system). 2. Copy agere_sta_fw.bin (the uncorrupted 65046 bytes version) into /lib/firmware/ 3. Eject and re-insert the card (sudo pccardctl eject; sudo pccardctl insert), dmesg should now report that the firmware has loaded and that the card can do WPA I found that WPA2 does not work so you may need to set you access point to 'WPA/WPA2 personal' or 'WPA personal'. I have only tested the card with two routers, a Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware and a Linksys WRT54G v5, once these routers were set to 'WPA/WPA2' they both worked without issue (with wicd set to use the wext driver). It may be worth trying a different router as it maybe the Orinoco Silver/Gold card does not like your router for some reason. -- Kernel oops loading Agere firmware (orinoco module) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 315489] Re: Kernel oops loading Agere firmware (orinoco module)
Hi everyone, Like many of you, I'm eager to get my Lucent/Agere/Orinoco Silver/Gold PCMCIA card working with WPA on my wife's old IBM X24. Kubuntu had made a great impression on her, but I'm not (yet) willing to turn off or turn down the encryption level of my wireless router. There are many others that are having problems with these cards as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7233791 I am still having many problems with my Orinoco Silver/Gold, fw 8.72. I've downloaded Alex's agere_sta_fw.bin (65046 bytes) into /lib/firmware and have checked with dmesg that it has been loaded - I get the spam about roaming. However I am still unable to get onto a WPA enabled router with this card. Wicd gets stuck on validating. Years ago, I remembered that the orinoco_cs driver was unable to support WPA, and the solution was to use hostap_cs. To force the computer to use hostap instead of orinoco_cs, you would edit /etc/pcmcia/config, find your particular card, and edit the line to say something like bind (hostap_cs) instead of bind (orinoco_cs). However, pcmcia-cs is now old-fashioned and has been replaced by pcmciautils. I have not found any files related to pcmciautils that I can edit. Blacklisting all the orinoco, hermes modules while loading hostap_cs with modprobe has not worked. The driver still does not bind to the card. My question for those that are subscribed on the list: 1. Have you been able to get the orinoco_cs driver to work once you've placed agere_sta_fw.bin into /lib/firmware. If so, any tips/tricks? 2. Does anyone know how or have tried to force the PCMCIA card to bind to hostap_cs driver? Many thanks to all.
