Please don't do that, those card work perfectly with the orinoco driver, and some of us run them with the orinoco driver (orinoco is one third the footprint of hostap). > We switched to pcmciautils when moved to 2.6.16 and many users complain > that their WiFi CompactFlash cards are driven by orinoco instead of > hostap. > > BTW - how to force using of hostap_cs when both hostap_cs and orinoco_cs > has card in device table? The overall architecture of hotplug/udev module loading is broken as it does not allow user override. I have explained in details the problem to the concerned people, but it seems that they don't really care. The standard answer is "blacklist the orinoco module". Let's not even mention libusual. > --- linux.orig/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.c 2006-05-12 15:02:13.000000000 +0200 > +++ linux/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.c 2006-05-12 15:03:31.000000000 +0200 > @@ -533,7 +533,6 @@ > PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x0274, 0x1613), /* Linksys WPC11 Version 3 */ > PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x028a, 0x0002), /* Compaq HNW-100 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter \ > */ PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x028a, 0x0673), /* Linksys WCF12 Wireless CompactFlash \ > Card */ > - PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x02aa, 0x0002), /* ASUS SpaceLink WL-100 */ > PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x02ac, 0x0002), /* SpeedStream SS1021 Wireless Adapter */ > PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x14ea, 0xb001), /* PLANEX RoadLannerWave GW-NS11H */ > PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x50c2, 0x7300), /* Airvast WN-100 */ > @@ -548,8 +547,6 @@ > PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID12("Addtron", "AWP-100 Wireless PCMCIA", 0xe6ec52ce, \ > 0x08649af2), PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID123("AIRVAST", "IEEE 802.11b Wireless PCMCIA \ > Card", "HFA3863", 0xea569531, 0x4bcb9645, 0x355cb092), \ > PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID12("Allied Telesyn", "AT-WCL452 Wireless PCMCIA Radio", \ > 0x5cd01705, 0x4271660f), > - PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID12("ASUS", "802_11b_PC_CARD_25", 0x78fc06ee, 0xdb9aa842), > - PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID12("ASUS", "802_11B_CF_CARD_25", 0x78fc06ee, 0x45a50c1e), > PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID12("Avaya Communication", "Avaya Wireless PC Card", \ > 0xd8a43b78, 0x0d341169), PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID12("BENQ", "AWL100 PCMCIA ADAPTER", \ > 0x35dadc74, 0x01f7fedb), PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID12("BUFFALO", "WLI-PCM-L11G", \ > 0x2decece3, 0xf57ca4b3), Please do *NOT* remove those IDs from the Orinoco driver.
