I recently purchased a Dell 600m. The laptop came with an Intel
Pro/Wireless 2100 mini-pci card which I knew did not have linux
support. I purchased what I believe to be a TrueMobile 1150 mini-pci
card on eBay and have had problems getting it working.
I have been using the 2.4.* series kernel with kernel modules for
support. The card is reported to work with the orinoco_cs module.
The following dmesg output summarizes my problem - it appears to be a
timeout during a register reset in hermes.c.
hermes.c: 4 Dec 2002 David Gibson <(E-Mail Removed)>
orinoco.c 0.13d (David Gibson <(E-Mail Removed)> and
others)
orinoco_cs.c 0.13d (David Gibson <(E-Mail Removed)> and
others)
hermes @ IO 0x100: Timeout waiting for card to reset (reg=0x0000)!
eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -110)
orinoco_cs: register_netdev() failed
Any help is appreciated.
For reference, I have already tried:
+ kernel 2.6.0-test4
+ pcmcia-cs drivers
+ linux-wlan-ng
The same problem appears with all of the above drivers.
cardctl ident produces:
