by PCMCIA BUG on 386 (wireless orinoco lucent wavelan)
hi all!
over the last week i tried to move my wireless network router from a
486 to a 386 mainboard. (i still have those nice siemens nixdorf
386sx16..)
the 486 works fine with all kinds of configurations, but the 386 wont
detect the wireless pcmcia-card (the anonymous memory problem)
the interesting thing is: i have an older installation, which works
just fine with exactly the same hardware on it!
new: (nonworking, as anonymous memory)
kernel 2.4.14
pcmcia_cs 3.1.30
cardmgr 3.1.22
old: (working, as prism II intersil)
kernel 2.4.4
pcmcia_cs 3.1.25 (im almost sure)
cardmgr 3.1.22
ofcourse everything is tweaked to compile
explicitly with march=i386 flag.
i tried both types of cards:
one lucent ieee802.11, (wavelan silver) and
one lucent ieee802.11b, (orinoco silver)
my pcmcia adapter is a vadem isa,
and i have tweaked the cis, io and async values,
i have used kerneldrivers (static/modules)
and the cs drivers..
any hints?
next thing i'll try is the older pcmcia_cs package
i used for the old system, but this is getting realy expensive in
time..
additionaly the old system wont help much because i want to upgrade
the router.. (but i will cross-check this nevertheless)
thank you!
