Problems setting up orinoco card
hello, i'm trying to setup my dell i8100 to use a orinoco card. I got the card working fine under Win2k, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work under suse 7.3. When I insert the card I get the two beeps sound and if I lsmod the hermes and orinoco modules are loaded. When I try to modprobe orinoco_cs i get the following errors: # modprobe orinoco_cs /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.o: init_module: Operation not permitted Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.o: insmod orinoco_cs failed As was suggested in the PCMCIA howto (for an i8k not i8100) i tried excluding the port 0x800-0x8ff # cardctl status 0 5V 16-bit PC Card function 0: [ready] # cardmgr modpath = (null) modsubdir = (null) # cardctl ident 0 product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version 01.01", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. # cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab Socket 0: Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter Socket 1: empty i am fresh out of ideas for the time being, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using one of Mantel's kernels? One (or possibly more) of the 2.4.16 kernels he made available broke orinoco. I stuck with my wired connection for a while and upgraded to a newer kernel when I had the time. I'm now using his k_deflt-2.4.17-36 and it works beautifully. In fact, I'm sending this very email through one. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8bSit+FOexA3koIgRArdWAJ4iC5EzI6u0GaIa9BX6BrVTSDVa7wCffqB3 qP1/++KSrAoTPTHlGcosHJE= =UHQv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I am currently using the k_deflt-2.4.16-22 from the update/kernel section. I tried d/l and installing 2.4.17 b ut it broke the nvidia drivers and i could not get the nvidia drivers to recompile. A make install of NVIDIA_kernel would always give an error about couldn't give kmap_pagetable... so i returned to 2.4.16 and the nvidia drivers work great.

I have the same problem with the 2.4.16 kernel available from the suse ftp update directory with respect to the orinoco driver. I have tried to recompile the pcmcia module and the orinoco drivers, but same results that you get. I can use the wvlan driver OK, but I don't think that I get very good throughput on the connection. I've been waiting for an official kernel update before trying another kernel to see if that fixes the problem. Perhaps I'll try the unofficial 2.4.17 kernel build since the laptop I have does not have an nvidia card. -ronc

I noticed today that there was a new 2.4.17 posted in mantel's dir in the last couple days so i tried compiling it to see if the NVidia drivers would compile against it, and they did not. Came up with the same kmap_pagetable dependency problem as before but also had a note about how this is a binary driver with the GPL kernel, I'm guessing this has to do with the tainted kernel modules thing. This 2.4.17 is listed as -11, the strange thing is my desktop has 2.4.17-0 of the mantel kernels and nvidia drivers compiled fine for it. I guess I''ll try the version on my desktop. But the good news is that the orinoco_cs module loaded fine w/ the 2.4.17-11 kernel. so i guess my choices are to use 17 w/ orinoco card and no X or 16 w/ X and no orinoco for the moment.
