yet another netgear MA401RA thread
Hello Finegan et. al.,
I've been lurking for a while. I think I am frustratingly close to
getting my netgear MA401RA card working.
System info: Debian Woody on a Toshiba Satellite 2545 laptop
running kernel 2.4.18
The card is recognized, but it doesn't seem like the orinoco
driver is being bound to the card by cardmgr. I've put the
three lines in /etc/pcmcia/config and also /etc/pcmcia/config-2.4
(A debian thing) and also /etc/pcmcia/config.opts.
The modules are loaded, but there is no interface with wireless
extensions. I've also tried with linux-wlan modules with similar
results. I just can't seem to get an interface.
There is a pre-story which may or may not be relevant. For
quite a while I was having trouble with the card even being
recognized, I was getting an error
cs: warning! no high memory space available!
cs: could not map card memory!
cs: could not map card memory!
Whenever I inserted the card or booted up with it inserted.
I was able to "fix" this by adding the ff lines to /etc/pcmcia/config-2.4:
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff
I freely admit that I don't know exactly what this is doing.
Perhaps these ranges need to be changed.
I do have another 'wired' card working.
Thanks for your patience,
David Fu
