[Bug 654261] New: wlan pcmcia card not recognized correctly

The first strange thing is that it appears as eth1 instead of wlan0. The second thing is that the eth1 wlan interface does not support basic wlan activities as scanning and can therefore not be used at all. The following occurs on a fresh booted, freshly configured system: root:~> wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable ioctl[SIOCSIWSCAN]: Device or resource busy Failed to initiate AP scan. ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable ioctl[SIOCSIWSCAN]: Device or resource busy Failed to initiate AP scan. ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable ioctl[SIOCSIWSCAN]: Device or resource busy Failed to initiate AP scan. ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable ioctl[SIOCSIWSCAN]: Device or resource busy Failed to initiate AP scan. ^CCTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received root:~> lspcmcia Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:04.0) Socket 1 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:04.1) Socket 1 Device 0: [orinoco_cs] (bus ID: 1.0) root:~> pccardctl info 1 PRODID_1="Wireless" PRODID_2="LAN Adapter" PRODID_3="Version 01.02" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0156,0002 FUNCID=6 root:~> pccardctl status 1 5.0V 16-bit PC Card Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "orinoco_cs" root:~> iwlist eth1 scanning eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down root:~> ifconfig eth1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:E0:98:9F:85:FF BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:10 Basisadresse:0x3080 root:~> ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: Link detected: no root:~> iwconfig eth1 eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: None Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/0 Retry short limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-68 dBm Noise level=-122 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:3 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

root:~> wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Configuration of the wireless extension "-D" is needed, but I do not know which extension is needed for your card. Would it be possible to post the output of the "hwinfo --wlan" ?

Is it normal that my wlan interface is registered as eth0?
Yes, the driver defines the name of the interface. There are other drivers that name the wlan interface ethX too. Other names appear rarely. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Would it be possible to try and bring the interface up and scan for the APs ? To connect to the AP it would be good to use the wext extension.

Unfortunately, this is a known issue since 11.2 [1] and it's very unlikely that anybody is going to care about it. Consider to upgrade the HW [2]. I'm sorry that I can't give you a better answer. I leave it open to keen record of this device.
