acx100 and Dlink DWL650+ in Slackware
Seems like I can't get my wireless drivers to work correctly in slackware. I've had the card working before so I know it works in this setup... I just don't remember how. I set it up using the house of craig tutorial. When I boot up with the wireless adapter in the cardbus it locks up right around when it finds the card in the slot. I'm not sure how to remedy this issue, and like I said I got it working before. I installed the module the same as I have many times and it still does the same thing.
It's really odd however... sometimes the card manager recognizes the card an other times it doesn't. Theres no definite way that I have found so far to make the card show on boot. I'm really lost as to what to do with this. Any suggestions would be great, I can post whatever info you need. Thanks. |
Ok, heres an addition.... it seems that the cardmgr RANDOMLY decides to find my card sometimes.... other times no.. It _does not_ always lock up on boot now. However it will lock up randomly in the OS if I put the card in or out. cardctl info shows no info about the card, but if it loads right it might show the info. The odd thing is if I were to load the card into another laptop it loads fine. If I were to load another card into this laptop it loads fine. So neither the card or the socket are bad as far as I can tell.

Ok I finally got the card recognized...
Code:
bash-2.05b# cardctl status verbose mode on.. for better diag. Code:
bash-2.05b# ./start_net and... dmesg states this.... Code:
acx100: It looks like you were coaxed into buying a wireless network card |
You've gotta be joking me that noone has any idea about this.... I've seen posts in the past but none have been resolved. Did I post this in the wrong forum?

Ok yet ANOTHER update on this..... after leaving the laptop sitting over night off, and turning it on it finds the wireless adapter each time now...
Code:
bash-2.05b# cardctl info UPDATE: I can sucessfully load the module on boot, it picks it up most times and loads it. iwconfig sees the card, but for some reason doesn't see an access point though there are about 3 of them in plain view as I type this and they are on cause there guys out in the lobby using them. So it seems to be the issue of when I run dhcpcd on the card it locks up and I have to reboot. |
