RE: [iPAQ] PROBLEM WITH ORINOCO CARD

I do have a working orinoco driver for 0.5a but I had to make some changes
to
the driver in order to get it running on the arm. I still belive it is
impossible
that the orinoco driver that comes with 0.5a is working ! Note, this is not
related to the vcc mismatch.
I sent a patch to David Gibson, I hope he'll include it into the next
version. Otherwise it should
be included into the rmk or hh patch. The problem does only occurr on arm
machines (alignment) .

I have tried WLAN and Orinocos drivers with 0.5 and single PCMCIA sleeve
without success.
This Orinoco's card worked just fine in Familiar 0.4 (Kernel 2.4.3) and
WLAN-drivers. It however didn't
work with Orinoco's drivers.

Are you using the wvlan or the orinoco driver ?

I have no problems using the default 0.5 image and a Lucent Orinoco Gold
card. I used the 2.15.15 bootloader and the image specified in the
0.5pre installation document. I also have a dual PCMCIA sleeve, so I'm
not certain about using it with the single sleeve.

There is still a general problem with that card. You should use the
orinoco
driver
for it, but unfortunately that doesn't work either at the moment.
I may be able to send you the required modules for 2.4.7 so you can
at least get it working.

I installed Familiar 0.5 on my iPaq, everything works well, but I can't
get
wlan card work. Card is Orinoco gold. Here's the message that I get when
I
switch the card on to iPaq:

It seems to recognize the card as Compaq WL110 when it should be Lucent
Orinoco Gold. With familiar 0.4 everything worked well on this same
device.
I feel quite frustrated, when I have installed every pcmcia any wlan
modules over and nothing seems to help.

Erkki
