WiFi problems...
I have a Linksys WPC11 ver.3 pcmcia card. When I installed Slackware 9.0, it detected the card, loaded the orinoco/hermes drivers, grabed an IP address, and it was good. Not liking the orinoco drivers, I installed the wlan-ng drivers. It was good. Worked perfectly. A few days later, I inserted the card in a laptop running WinXP. It worked great. When I put the card back into the Slack laptop, I got the low beep, meaning it didn't reconize the card. The dmesg:
init_module: prism2_cs.o: 0.2.0 Loaded
init_module: dev_info is: prism2_cs
prism2_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3. io 0x0100-0x013f
hfa384x_docmd_wait: hfa384x_cmd timeout(1), reg-0x8000
hfa384x_drvr_start: Allocate(tx) command failed.
hfa384x_drvr_start: Failed, result=-100
prism2sta_ifstate: hfa384x_drvr_start() failed, result=-100
Now, sense I had _just_ installed slack, I decicded to re-install it. This time, not even the orinoco drivers worked. They complained about not being able to read the Firmware on the card. So, I installed the wlang-ng drivers again. Inserted card. I got the 2 high beeps, modules loaded fine. Here comes the problem...
ifconfig -a
wlan0 blahblah
iwconfig
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-b Mode: Auto Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
encryption key: off
So, wlan0 shows up in both iwconfig and ifconfig. Great, so I do dhcpcd wlan0, I get the prompt back. check the ifconfig, and nothing. check iwconfig, nothing. So, I try to maunally config the IP, ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.200, I get
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device. I get the Same error when I try to maunally config with iwconfig.
I don't seem to have a wlan-ng.opts either...I think winxp did something to the firmware. ?
How do I fix this?
