Afternoon all,
Have a Lucent Wavelan (Orinoco) card in a RedHat 7.1 machine and have a
couple of queries. I have looked at lots of online documentation and seen
similar questions asked before, but they always lack the answers :)
Basically, I am using kernle 2.4.2-2 and version 3.1.24-2 of the pcmcia-cs
packages. The wireless card is picked up fine by RedHat and it configures
OK. A Windows box running the Lucent test software connects in a
Peer-to-peer manner and indicates a strong link. however, I keep geting
timeouts (wvlan_cs: eth1 Tx timed out! Resetting card) and we can not ping
between the machines? I am currently using wvlan.cs and did have a look
at the orinoco module but that wont build on this machine.
The question then; is it possible to get this working OK with the current
driver or am I better of trying with a newer kernel source and then either
the orinoco or the wavelan2_cs driver?
Any thints/tips are very welcomed.
Regards and thanks
Thomas
