[ltp] wireless problem on X21

[Ken Firestone]

Bill,

What does your /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts look like?

I found out I had to comment out the first stanza, to pick up any
access point.

Then this is what I put in for the LucentWavelan card:

# Lucent Wavelan IEEE (+ Orinoco, RoamAbout and ELSA)
# Note : wvlan_cs driver only, and version 1.0.4+ for encryption
# support
*,*,*,00:60:1D:*|*,*,*,00:02:2D:*)
    #INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings)"
    INFO="my_ap_name"  #put the name in for your access point
    ESSID="my_ap_name"
    MODE="Managed"
    RATE="auto"
    KEY="s:secu1"

This setup is for an Orinoco gold card in a TP 240, the ancestor of
your X21. I am using SuSE 7.3.

   I have an X21 with RH7.1 in a dual boot with Win2K. I am unable to get my
   802.11 wireless to work under linux, but other PCMCIA services work (for
   instance an IBM microdrive).  The card is an Orinoco gold. The built-in
   ethernet NIC works fine as eth0. I'd like to configure the PC card as eth1.

   lsmod shows:

   but there are some messages at boot that I don't understand and are not
   captured in boot.log or from dmesg. the message is something like "incorrect
   IRQ. Module might have incorrect parameters." I'ver never understood IRQ's.
   Does anyone have any ideas?

   Could I just skip the whole problem by upgrading to RH7.2?
