Hi Guys,

I was trying to make the wireless work in a linux machine (not a laptop/computer) running 2.4.22 kernel.
I am connecting to the linux machine through a serial cable to my laptop to monitor it and use the terminal through Putty.

lspci command is not found when i used it.

cardmgr returned,
cardmgr[1731]: open_sock(socket 0) failed: Device or resource busy

cardctl ident:

The above messages are for your reference guys.
Please help with this and let me know if you want any other message.

Thanks in advance.

What card you are trying to use would help, along with the output of lspcmcia

Thanks for your response.

It's a Wireless LAN High Power PC Card Model: X I-325HP+
and the PCMCIA module is PCM-3115C.

And I am not able to use lspcimca. it's not in my linux.

fyi, the manufacturer of wlan card is ZCOM.

lspcmcia (you have the letters mixed up.. ) should be part of your pcmciautils package..

I am sorry i typed wrongly in my previous message.
actually, i did lspcmcia, it's not found.
I guess i don't have pcmciautils package installed.
can you please suggest me how to do that?
and how much space does it take ?

thanks

Can't suggest much without knowing what distribution of Linux you are running..

Suggest you update your profile to contain Linux distro or mention it in your Post when asking a question..
Also odd that your distro is still on the 2.4 kernel.. that's kinda old.

I think it is a customized linux. I can't find the name of the distro.
Someone had it done 3 years back. There is no info about the release in /etc/ folder.
I can't upgrade to the latest kernel. Because they want it to be small since they are not running on
laptop/computer rather on a machine.

Actually it is a PC104 which is essentially a stripped-down desktop 486 processor with
some additional data collection hardware. It runs a commodity Linux
kernel (2.4.22-ac4 + some files from 2.4.27), a subset of the standard
Unix command-line utilities provided by BusyBox, and a suite of
programs written in C and Perl.

Someone please help me with this.

Thanks

Without knowing what distro you have, I'm not sure which way to direct you..

It is a stripped version of the slackware.
