#161 wireless card reset timeout problem

[nas nas]

I have updated the pcmcia package for a red hat 9
since it didn't include my intel pro/wireless card.
everything went smoothly during installation.
during startup the card gets recognized but the
configuration fails because of a reset timeout
here is what it says and thanks for your help.

Please define exactly what you did, when you say
you "updated" the pcmcia-cs package. The package in RH9
certainly included an orinoco_cs driver for your card.

A simple thing to try, would be to exclude IO 0x100-0x13f
in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, in case you have an IO port
conflict.

If that does not help, then I suggest reporting the problem to
the maintainer of the orinoco_cs driver.

unfortunately, excluding the IO 0x100-0x13f in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts didn't solve my problem.
concerning your question,I didn't know that my card used the
orinoco_cs driver, and that's why I got the most up to date
pcmcia_cs driver package and followed the instructions in
the PCMCIA-HOWTO.

Any progress on this problem? If not, please report:

-- what brand and model of laptop is this?
-- do you have any other PCMCIA cards that work?
-- can you find the boot messages from the PCMCIA drivers?
