[Bug 278563] New: Failing installation of SIEMENS IGATE 11M wireless network card
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=278563 Summary: Failing installation of SIEMENS IGATE 11M wireless network card Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dieter.jurzitza@t-online.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Installation of the SIEMENS IGATE 11M (pcmcia-slot) fails on initial openSUSE10.2. The root cause is a duplicated and wrong entry in /etc/modprobe.d/prism2. /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:15:00.0/0.0/modalias: pcmcia:m0156c0002f06fn00pfn00pa74C5E40Dpb8304FF77pc4B74BAA0pd00000000 this entry is matched twice in /etc/modprobe.d/prism2. The corresponding lines are: alias pcmcia:m0156c0002f*fn*pfn*pa*pb*pc*pd* orinoco_cs and alias pcmcia:m*c*f*fn*pfn*pa74C5E40Dpb8304FF77pc4B74BAA0pd* prism2_cs this leads to the loading of orinoco_cs whenever the card is inserted. In contrast, yast2 correctly detects hostap_cs as the right driver for the card: /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-bus-pcmcia-0.0: MODULE='hostap_cs' MODULE_OPTIONS='' STARTMODE='auto' Fix: remove the orinoco_cs-alias line in /etc/modprobe.d/prism2 and replace the prism2_cs string at the end of the second line by hostap_cs. However, this will show side - effects as other cards might not work afterwards. If anyone comes with a better solution I would appreciate to test. Please find a patch attached against /etc/modprobe.d/prism2. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

This does not mean that it is working properly now (see bug 173647), but the problem described by this report is not applicable anymore. -> WONTFIX -- 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.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=278563#c3 --- Comment #3 from Dieter Jurzitza <dieter.jurzitza@t-online.de> 2007-12-02 12:26:58 MST --- Dear Mr. Gleissner, well, if I take a look into the initrd of openSUSE 10.3 there is a prism2 (etc/modprobe.d/prism2) file with the very same (erratic) IDs inside. To which version are you referring, then? At least I would expect that Novell is fixing aliasing entries in the corresponding files as I guess this is something that definitively should not happen :-). I do not think one can blame the kernel developers for this. Maybe there are multiple modules for the same device, but the distributor is in charge of avoiding things like this in his distribution (IMHO). Thank you for looking into this, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- 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.
