Hi,
I'm running vanilla kernel 2.6.31.5:
Code:
2.6.31.5WAVE #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 26 22:48:39 EDT 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I have a symbol spectrum 24 CF card which I connected via pcmcia adaptor to my laptop (thinkpad t61p)
Code:
Socket 0:
product info: "Symbol", "Spectrum24 LA4100 Series WLAN PC Card", "1.00", ""
manfid: 0x026c, 0x0001
function: 6 (network)
My 4965AGN card's firmware is requested and loaded properly, unlike the Symbol's:
Code:
pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: card ejected from slot 0
pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -16)
spectrum_cs: register_netdev() failed
eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -16)
spectrum_cs: register_netdev() failed
I was wondering if I can force the firmware to load at boot time via sysfs tweaks. What else can I try?

Firmware loading for spectrum 24
