[Madwifi-users] Proxim 8480: Failed to allocate resource 0(ef010000-ef003fff)

[Kammann, J. <Jen...@dl...>]

Hi,

encouraged by a positive report about getting a Proxim 8480 card to work
( http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3D6401585), I
tried the same with a Mini-PC system with RedHat 9.0
(out of the box- no modifications so far).

Using an old 802.11b Orinoco-Card, everything works fine - So I assume,
PCMCIA, network etc is alright.

However, as soon I insert a new "Proxim Orinoco Gold 8480" Card I get
the following error from the cardmanager:
"Failed to allocate resource 0(ef010000-ef003fff) for 2:00.0"

- and "insmod ath_pci" fails because of no card being present.

Here's the full output of dmesg:

---------------

-----------------

Now, what I don't understand is the strange address range (from address
> end address)- looking at /etc/pci (see below) I see a lot of devices
in the ef003fff-ef010000 range which could explain the conflict.

Playing around with /etc/pcmcia/config.opts ("include memory") did not
help.

Any idea what could go wrong here ?

regards,
