MPC8xx and wireless HERMES-II () ???

MPC8xx and wireless HERMES-II () ???

[Steven Scholz]

Hi there,

I am trying to get a "proxim ORiNOCO PC Card" to work on my MPC8xx board
with PCMCIA CS.

Since it has a HERMES-II chipset I can't use the orinoco driver. So I went
for Agere's wl_lkm_718_release.tar.gz.

After inserting the card I get

	Wireless, HCF failure: "Command buffer size insufficient"

:-(

But funny enough I found the lines

/*******************************************************************/
/************************  Motorola Power PC 800 family  ***********/
/*******************************************************************/
/* known users: LH@I  */
#if defined I_MPC8XX
...

/*******************************************************************/
/************************  MPC860  *********************************/
/*******************************************************************/
/* known users: RR */

#if defined CPU
#if CPU == PPC860

in the include/hcf/hcfcfg.h. So of course now I wonder who might "LH@I" and
"RR" be and if they realy use this driver in an MPC8xx environment.

Any hints are mostly welcome !!!

Thansk a million!

I'd be very interested in what you find out. I am working on a project where I
want to do the exact same thing. I'll stay tuned :).

After fixing some minor bugs the HERMES-II is working with my MPC8xx.
I still have some minor problems though.
