Hi Joshua,

Please note that the only reason for the 'last rule' in my
original post was so that the ide driver wasn't loaded after
hostap_cs for the dual-function Sandisk card.

Hi Marcus,
yep - I eventually figured that one out... it took me a while because I am slow :), but I finally noticed the func_id of ...4 instead of ...6 and then knew it wasn't a networking rule - sorry if my thought process on that wasn't clear in the bug.

I am curious whether the 'driver==' rule will catch all the hostap_cs cards - it is working on mine, but I would love to have some more people test it.

thanks again,
josh

Hi Phil,
Please check out this bug and see if the fix works for you.

This is a common problem for all the hostap_cs cards - this should fix it, but as I have only tested it against my card...

HTH,
josh

Hello,

I have just tried v0.8.4-rc3 and I have encountered a problem with my
wifi card: WCF12 linksys

The card is working fine with Matt's 2.6.15-hh0 kernel from 10.4.2006 and
familiar v.0.8.3 from 17.4.2006.

But under v0.8.4-rc3 I get the following dmesg:

pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
orinoco_cs: GetNextTuple(): No matching CIS configuration. Maybe you need
the ignore_cis_vcc=1 parameter.
0.0: GetFirstTuple: No more items
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.1
orinoco_cs: GetNextTuple(): No matching CIS configuration. Maybe you need
the ignore_cis_vcc=1 parameter.
0.1: GetFirstTuple: No more items

I checked all the config files and they are all identical to the ones in
Matt's release.


e.g.:
options orinoco_cs ignore_cis_vcc=1

is in /etc/modutils/orinoco_cs.conf

as well as in /etc/modules.conf

and
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/orinoco_cs.conf
options orinoco_cs ignore_cis_vcc=1

The starnge thing under v0.8.4-rc3 is that hermes, orinoco and hostap are
all getting loaded when I enter the card.
Removing them manually (I have tried all combinations) doesn't make a
difference.
Under Matt's release only the hostap_cs module gets loaded!

Any ideas how to fix that or what else to try?

Cheers,
Phil
