Hello list,

i managed to compile spectrum24t_cs.o
and the driver seams to work with the LA-4121-1100-EU card correctly:

eth1: Link status 1

and the cisco 350 Access Point says the station 00:a0:f8:XX:XX:XX
associated and authenticated, but I could not see the IP-Address
for this station (should be 10.0.0.2) on the AP.

when i do a "tcpdump -i eth1"

i can see DHCP-request packets send by the cisco 350 AP

and when i do a ping on my linux box i can see the arp
requests of my box, but it seems they are never answered ....

the problem now is that i cannot send any 
data over the wireless link ...

with an avaya silver card the same thing works ...

are there known problems with newer kernels or cisco 350 APs ?

Hi All,

Ok, just been tearing my hair out over this one - so if you can shed =
some light I would be very greatful.

Recently bought an intel 2011 wireless net card and pci to pcmcia =
carrier for my pc - I havnt even plugged them it yet tho.

I downloaded the pcmcia and spectrum tarballs  from sourcefoge and =
followed the instructions to the letter however when I type 'make all' =
it fails when it gets to spectrum24tSw.c reporting loads of copies of =
the same error : "dereferencing pointer to incomplete type" the first =
line number that it reports is 283. It seems to be complaining about the =
'struct device' but my limited programming skills end there I am afraid.

I have successfully compiled the pcmcia package without the spectrum =
stuff with no problem at all. I am running RH7.0 with kernel version =
2.4.4 with alcatel adsl patches on a normal desktop pc.

ANy help would be great,

Thanks,

Sam

Hrm ... did you stop the card first, or just yank it? ... sometimes, I've
found that the code to check if the card is there and some sanity checks
to make sure the data is valid can fail to detect a removed card, and
thus, you'll get a panic. I'm trying to revamp the sanity checking, but in
the mean time, you can solve the problem by manually running 'cardctl
eject' before physically removing the card.

Has anyone had any problems with this module causing a kernel panic when you
remove a 3com Airconnect wireless card?  It seems to attempt to find an
access point when i insert the card, but the kernel crashes when i remove
it.  I'm using the beta version of the driver that was put on the ftp site a
few weeks ago along with pcmcia-cs-3.1.26 and am using the 2.4.3 linux
kernel.  Let me know if anyone wants more details about the panic.

Thanks,

I'm relatively new to Linux.  I'm trying to install my Spectrum24 PCMCIA 
card, and I followed the instructions until I was supposed to "rerun make 
install"

How do I do this?

Ben Dimick

PS: thanks for answering a newbie's question!

Hi, I'm back again!

Last week I try to deeply test your beta4 and I found one trouble: if you send
or receive a lot of traffic continuously (I tried with repeatly ftp of 3MB file)
after a period of time the card stop transmitting data (yes, only transmitting).
I see this looking with tcpdump and ifconfig; only incoming data are handled but
not outcoming (outcoming of all kinds, so TCP connection, ARP request and so
on). The card is still active at radio level, because my AP (Windows with
another pcmcia card) report signal. Also, I made the card on Linux an AP and the
other (on Windows) normal card, and the problem still remain (and Windows report
excellent strength signal). The problem is not on Windows side, because
rebooting Windows do not resolve problem. Instead, making and 'ifconfig down'
and then 'ifconfig up' restore normal functionality of the card. The problem
remain also with a flood ping and data of about 1kb.

I tried instead with a normal 'ping -t' and it worked without loosing data for
about 40 hours (then I stopped it...).

I tested this on: kernel 2.2.16 pcmcia-cs 3.1.24 spectrumw24 beta4
PCI-to-Cardbus adapter with TI1225.

I've tried the card in a desktop machine that is using an ELAN P111
PCI-to-PCMCIA card.  On that computer I tried kernel 2.2.18 with
pcmcia-cs-3.1.23, kernel 2.4.0ac8 with the in kernel pcmcia drivers and
with external pcmcia-cs-3.1.23.  In all cases I get the above error
message.

I moved the card over to my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 5000), and within
Windows 2000, the card works fine.

Under Linux on the same laptop, using the RH7 kernel "2.2.16-22", I
updated to pcmcia-cs-3.1.23 and got the same error message from before,
and then I downgraded pcmcia-cs to 3.1.12 (the version that the
Spectrum24t driver was written against).  Still the same error message.

The card is has firmware version: V2.20-01 dated 09/21/2000.  Again, it is
a Symbol, Spectrum24 HighRate 11 Mbps, LA-41X1 PC Card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Dax

With debug, here is what I get:

Anybody got any clues?

What hardware are you using (laptop model/controller, etc.)

I hope to have a fix out for this problem sometime in the next week. I
currently have a patch which allows it to load and unload the module
regardless of how stuck it gets. Now all I have to do is figure out why
it's getting stuck ;) ...

Also where do I go to subscribe to this mailing list? Is there a mailman

Yup yup .. for some reason (i.e. it must have been included with some
popular distro) pcmcia-cs version 3.1.19 is everywhere. I realize that more
people will ask this, and so I'm going to try to start a FAQ so that I can
stop answering this bug report ;) .... You can read on the sourceforge site
for the pcmcia-cs package to find out what the exact issue is with it, but
suffice to say it has something to do with 16 bit IO access vs. 8 bit IO
access.

Cheers,
        Lee

3.1.19 (if I remember correctly) had issues with the Spectrum24t driver.  I'd suggest moving up to a newer version (or even back...). 

I'm using 3.1.12 with this driver and it works great (with a 3Com AirConnect card).

Thank you very much for the help.

I feel that I am almost there, however it is not working yet. Inserting
the card locates the driver. I can see this in lsmod:
----------
spectrum24t_cs         13600   1 
ds                      6248   2  [serial_cs spectrum24t_cs]

pcmcia_core            44768   0  [serial_cs spectrum24t_cs ds
i82365]

But I get the following errors/warnings in /var/log/messages:

Any ideas?

The first issue is that in order to get the Intel card to work, you must
first download the 11 mbit driver. This driver works with the Symbol, 3com
and Intel 11mbit cards. I believe (you may have to test this for me) that
the Intel card works out of the box. If this isn't correct, you have to
create an entry for it in the /etc/pcmcia/config (much like you attempted
to do already.) The major differences are that the 'version line should
match the message that you got in the syslog, so it would look something
like this:

card "Intel 11 mbit card"
version "Intel", "PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card", "1.00"
bind "Spectrum24t"

NOTE: the card line is just a label. It is for your reference only and as
such can be anything that makes since to you. The version number is
important, becuase this is what the package uses to do the card to driver
mapping. The manfid line is optional (put it in if you know the
information and feel the need to differentiate.) The bind line should
match the name that you use for the driver (this bind line matches the
name that the 11mbit DS package adds to the /etc/pcmcia/config file.)

I hope this helps.

I was pointed by Intel support to the Symbol Spectrum24 Linux driver, to
try and get my card to work under Linux. 

They have not yet released their reference driver.

With that said, I have compiled the spectrum24_cs.o file, and was trying
to setup the file /etc/pcmcia/intel.conf as follows:

device "spectrum24_cs"
  class "network" module "spectrum24_cs"

card "Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card"
version "Intel", "*", "2011"
manfid 0x0089, 0x0001
bind "spectrum24_cs"

I assumed that I did not have to add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config,
because of the entries:

# Include configuration files for add-on drivers
source ./*.conf

However I don't think I have the syntax right because I get the
following error in syslog:

Dec  8 21:00:09 laptop cardmgr[4457]: initializing socket 1
Dec  8 21:00:09 laptop cardmgr[4457]: unsupported card in socket 1
Dec  8 21:00:09 laptop cardmgr[4457]:   product info: "Intel",
"PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card", "1.00"

I know that I may be dreaming to think that I can get this to work, but
Intel said "For your immediate need there is a GPL driver at
Sourceforge* that should work for this
NIC will little to no modification."

I appologize if this is the wrong list to post to, but it was the only
address listed in the README file for the spectrum driver.

Please responde to my email address, because I am not subscribed to this
mailing list.

Thanks in advance,
Rois Cordova
