PCMCIA - Lights on my wireless card not coming on


Hi all - I know that this question has been raised on many occasions, but I can't seem to figure this one out. I'm running Fedora Core 3 on an IBM Thinkpad T23 laptop. I'm trying to get a wireless LAN card working, but I can't get even the power light to come on. I'm pretty new to the Linux thing, so I'm not sure what information you guys need.

The LAN card is a Linksys WPC54G ver.2.

Code:
[root@localhost init.d]# service pcmcia restart
Shutting down PCMCIA services: done.
Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[5491]: watching 2 sockets
done.
[root@localhost init.d]#
Code:
[root@localhost init.d]# rpm -qa | grep pcmcia
pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-2.2
I've already installed ndiswrapper and used it to install the lsbcmdns.inf windows driver. I don't think the problem is with the card or the driver, I feel like it's a pcmcia problem. I could be completely wrong, though.

If there is more info that would be helpful, please let me know and I'll post it.

Thanks!

reboot the machine.
Open a console.
plug in the wireless adapter
type dmesg
post the output of dmesg


Some of the "obvious but I have to ask" questions ---------------------------
Does the kernel support PCMCIA specifically 'yenta' ?
If you booted with the card installed, does it get picked up when you type lspci ?
I've never used the ndiswrapper, but I'm assuming its a modules and it is loaded right?

I might think of a few more while I'm a work.

Try installing Driverloader and see if it works with that.

Your card is listed as compatible with ndiswrapper, yes?


As I understand it, Linux sees ndiswrapper as a driver - the first thing you need to type is 'modprobe ndiswrapper'

ndiswrapper then loads up all the Windoze drivers that've been installed.

Thank you both for responding.

[B]musicman_ace[\B], below is the output from [B]dmesg[\B] and [B]lspci[\B]. I do see something about a TI wireless interface, but mine is a linksys, so I don't know what that's about. I did do the OS install with the card in the slot.

I do get this notice when I compiled ndiswrapper:

*** WARNING: Kernel is compiled with 4K stack size option (CONFIG_4KSTACKS); many Windows drivers will not work with this option enabled. Disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS option, recompile and install kernel

I've never compiled a kernel before, but I'm sure I can figure that out. I have a friend at work that's a linux guru, I'm sure he wouldn't mind walking me through it. I did see something about 'yenta' in the dmesg output. I also noticed a whole bunch of errors with ECDT - do you know what that is?

Does that provide what you needed?

[B]Napalm Llama[\B], I've been following instructions from the following link:

Whoever wrote this said the driveloader did not work for him.

well that proves that the pcmcia is working and it detects your card. Are there any errors reported when you bring up the the ETH1 card? Any errors when you type dhcpcd eth1 ?

I'm guessing you're refering to wlan0? If I do an "ifup wlan0", I get no output - it pauses for a second and then I get a command prompt.

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ifup wlan0
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig -a

Also, how can you tell that the computer sees it? Is it the last line in the lspci output?

Yes, the last line of your LSPCI is says that it detected a pci network device which was your wireless adapter.
