Folks -- I'm not sure where the problem lies, here or in pcmcia-cs, but I'll start here. I've got a Compaq N610c laptop with a Microsoft MN-720 wireless adapter (based on Broadcom chipset), running Gentoo, kernel 2.4.25, pcmcia-cs (latest ebuild - don't have version handy) and ndiswrapper 0.7. I've managed to get ndiswrapper installed, pointed it in my inf file, it copied the inf file along happily (note - should it have copied over any other files?) but does not say "present" in the -l list. cardmgr seems to either not recognize the card, or recognize it as Broadcom; either way, it doesn't start the card. No power light. If I understand correctly, ndiswrapper is great for me because it wraps up the Windows driver and I don't have to wait for pcmcia-cs support, right? How can I debug the no power issue to my card, so I can get it working and configured? If this has already been answered, I've ben unable to find it. Thanks in advance, -- Mike |

Yes, although the command was loadndisdriver. No luck.

Okay, you should've sent this to the list in the first place. Do you have ACPI running and installed correctly on your machine? Did you also try the kernel option line that it suggested?

I'll check on the ACPI part tomorrow - I believe I compiled it in, and everything seems to run okay, but I'm not 100% sure how to verify that it's alive and kicking.

The latest: 1. Had tried the kernel option, but with no luck - same errors. 2. Recompiled the kernel and recompiled pcmcia-cs to make sure that they used acpi and not apm. No luck. 3. Tried both slots. No luck. 4. Tried the bcmwl5 driver from the project site - didn't receive the same errors but I still didn't have a working, powered card. Unfortunately, neither of the cards I have for the laptop are supported directly by pcmcia-cs, so I don't have a good way to test or debug. I'm attaching partial dmesg output from the "modprobe ndiswrapper" for each of the drivers. I also enabled DEBUG in the driver/Makefile to get more verbose output. If it would help to see a clean, full dmesg dump from system after boot, I can provide as well.

=46rom the messages, it seems there is no Broadcom card recognized by pci (your lspci above doesn't show broadcom chipset). If your system does have it, you may need to figure out how to power it up (either through BIOS, special button, or some other means). Until 'lspci -n' shows the device, ndiswrapper will not see it. --=20 Giri |

w00t! It's been a bug learning experience. Under Gentoo, to take full advantage of pcmcia-cs drivers, kernel support for pcmcia needs to be off. This is the case; however, the default is to use the ds module, not the yenta_socket module. The MN-720 is a full 32 bit CardBus card, which needs yenta_socket to function. I unmerged pcmcia-cs, recompiled all the pcmcia support back into the kernel [which picked up yenta_socket], re-emerged pcmcia-cs, and tha card appeared in lspci. I can now modprobe ndiswrapper and the card functions. I'm not near an AP, so I can't do full testing, but at least I have power now and know WAY more than I ever expected about PCMCIA and Linux.

If -l doesn't show it installed then I believe you are in trouble. Make sure that the files were actually copied to /etc/ndiswrapper (default location). If there is nothing there then you didn't install the drivers properly. Make sure your inf file actually works and that you get no error messages while loading. Make sure that you can read the inf file through vi. The inf file should be in human readable format. You need to reformat it so that it's readable by *NIX if it is not. .7 is old, get .8.

Apologies, I was having a conversation about another piece of software (FireFox) which has similar release numbers when I was writing this email.
