A while ago, it was working flawlessly, though I didn't use it that much after the wife's laptop died. I've rolled through some kernel upgrades... and it appears my wifi does not work anymore. here's the technical stuff: I was still using 2.4 when it was working for sure, but I can't verify that it wasn't ever working on 2.6. under 2.6.11, i noticed the problem, I couldn't bring the interface up. dmesg produced similar results (to 2.6.13 i have now), but iirc, the iwconfig didn't make it look like the card was working at all. I rolled to 2.6.13, and things improved only slightly. Now, with 2.6.13, I get a successful modprobe orinoco_plx: >> auron root # dmesg >> orinoco_plx 0.15rc2 (Pavel Roskin , David Gibson >> , Daniel Barlow ) >> PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 0000:00:0a.0 >> orinoco_plx: Detected Orinoco/Prism2 PLX device at 0000:00:0a.0 irq:9, >> io addr:0x2c00 >> orinoco_plx: CIS: 01:03:00:00:FF:17:04:67:5A:08:FF:1D:05:01:67:5A: >> eth2: Hardware identity 8002:0000:0001:0000 >> eth2: Station identity 001f:0003:0000:0008 >> eth2: Firmware determined as Intersil 0.8.3 >> eth2: Ad-hoc demo mode supported >> eth2: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported >> eth2: WEP supported, 104-bit key >> eth2: MAC address 00:30:BD:63:21:11 >> eth2: Station name "Prism I" >> eth2: ready > > and at this point, iwconfig looks like the card is behaving somewhat: >> auron root # iwconfig eth2 >> eth2 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:"Prism I" >> Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: >> 00:00:00:00:00:00 >> Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/3 >> Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off >> Encryption key:off >> Power Management:off >> Link Quality=0/92 Signal level=134/153 Noise level=134/153 >> Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 >> Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 > > dmesg hasn't changed at this point. however, ifconfig breaks it: auron root # ifconfig eth2 10.5.6.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.5.6.255 >> SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device > > and dmesg now says this: >> hermes @ 00012c00: Card removed while waiting for command 0x0f38 >> completion. >> eth2: Error -19 configuring card > > and if i retry the ifconfig, i get a different error and a different dmesg result: >> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out > > >> eth2: Error -110 setting MAC address >> eth2: Error -110 configuring card > > Just to state the implied, I'm *not* removing the card, and rmmod'ing the orinico_plx driver and re-modprobing it will produce consistantly the same errors.
