ISDN and Wireless LAN PCMCIA
 

Hi all,

Here's a teaser!

I have just installed a DIVA 2.0 PRO ISDN PCI card, network detect in LM8.2 finds it fine and says there is a driver for it. (contrary to the postings that say i4l doesn't support the PRO series)

but once detected the card just wont work :(

I also have on the system a pseries PCI-PCMCIA adapter for my Zoom wiFi card (prism2 chip) again everything seems to be ok except it doesn't work ;)

lsmod says everything is there, i cant however make the PCMCIA the 'standalone' version as opposed to the kernel version (that could be the prob mind) the adapter apparently needs the i82365 driver not the yenta!?! but 8.2 loads the yenta for me without asking!

for info here is my 'dmesg' for the offending hardware:

The ISDN card, I have no idea...

The Zoom air card: it's loading the prism modules for the pcmcia card from the linux-wlan project... weird, but not entirely a problem. If it is indeed a prism2 card supported by those drivers, then check:

/sbin/lsmod

and rmmod anything like prism_cs

modprobe p80211
modprobe prism_plx

Then check to see if dmesg works it right... I have no idea why it tried to load pcmcia support...

Finegan,
Thanks i'll try that....It's loading the PCMCIA because, and i really should've mentioned this, it is a pc card in a PCI-PCMCIA adapter card on my desktop machine, so i guess either i need pcmcia and the prism driver or just the 'prism_plx' to get the adapter card to work?

I'll try more and see how it goes....

Thanks

Just the plx module, there are different modules for a straight PCI card, and a card services module for pcmcia.

Cheers,

Finegan
