Hi all

I am trying to get a CISCO wireless PCMCIA card running on a T40 laptop.
I am running REDHAT 9 with kernel linux-2.4.20-8.

It is a Cisco aironet 340 wireless pcmcia card extracted from
a PCI card cradle. I made a mounting piece for the rubber ducky
(clumsey but cheap).

I have spent a while without suucces trying to get the card up and
running.

If I do ifup eth1...

airo_cs device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

A description of all relevant info I can think of is below. Please tell
me what is wrong.


Cheers

GGMB

I have included the pcmcia card services and wireless LAN kernel
support as modules..

pcmcia_core
yenta_socket
ds
airo
airo_cs

I have also tried building the pcmcia stuff into a monolithic
kernel but it makes no difference to the ultimate outcome. I have also
tried reinstalling the drivers from CISCO but I think they are older
than in the above kernel.

Kudzu detects the card but then seg faults. I overcame the problem by
doing a kudzu --probe and manually entering the results about pcmcia
into hwconf...

The contents of /etc/sysconfig/hwconf (concerning pcmcia)..
