[PATCH 1/5] new pcmcia IDs for hostap - ASUS WL-110

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

This time I checked more carefully my changeset and split it into
smaller parts. Few of my patches was tested by OpenZaurus users, some
are waiting for testing.

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?

All patches require 24_hostap_cs_id.diff from Pavel Roskin.

	I'm sorry, but I will have again to veto part of your patch.
	You are removing IDs from the Orinoco driver. 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).

	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.

	Please do *NOT* remove those IDs from the Orinoco driver. The
Orinoco driver do support those devices properly.

Ok - I will update all patches to not doing this.

Once again, I really appreciate your vigilance, Jean :-)

I strongly believe that every driver should list all devices it can
support.  In case of multiple drivers supporting one device, the choice
should be done in userspace.

Yet another card known to work OK with hostap_cs:

Just from end user's standpoint:

I am totally bored with this "model". Every time new kernel comes I 
first delete all orinoco drivers, because I can't even blacklist them. I 
don't want to use them, I have a better driver -->hostap. When I try to 
do the following in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom :

# a) Do NOT load orinoco_pci/plx when we are using hostap driver
# b) Do NOT load eepro100, 8139cp

blacklist orinoco_pci
blacklist orinoco_plx

blacklist eepro100
blacklist 8139cp

The eepro100 and 8139cp get blacklisted just fine but not the 
orinoco_pci, it always want to load itself.

Because of this and the lack of WPA support in orinoco drivers the 
prism2 id:s should be removed from the orinoco drivers. To achieve 
security you have to run vpn over wireless when you use orinoco drivers.

How the orinoco driver can be as _good_ as the hostap driver for the 
prism2 cards? I think hostap is a lot better.

You can also have a local alias overriding in a /etc/modprobe.d/ file,
for example:
alias pcmcia:m02AAc0002f*fn*pfn*pa*pb*pc*pd* hostap_cs

modprobe will use this alias only, since it doesn't look in
module.alias if the alias is resolved before.

This allows to override the driver for a specific card, without
blacklisting a driver still usable with a whole number of cards.

Regards
