D-Link DWL 650 problems

[Thomas Mattisson]

Hi,

I've been trying to get my dlink card working under Linux using
orinoco_cs but it is a bit problematic. When using 2.4.17 and
pcmcia-cs 3.1.31 everything works fine for an hour or two and
then I get alot of the following:

Jan  4 23:11:53 maclay kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Jan  4 23:11:53 maclay kernel: eth0: Tx timeout! Resetting card.
Jan  4 23:11:53 maclay kernel: hermes @ 0x300: Timeout waiting for card 
to reset (reg=0x0000)!
Jan  4 23:11:53 maclay kernel: eth0: Error -110 resetting card on Tx 
timeout!
Jan  4 23:11:57 maclay kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Jan  4 23:11:57 maclay kernel: eth0: Tx timeout! Resetting card.
Jan  4 23:11:57 maclay kernel: eth0: Error -16 resetting card on Tx timeout!

If I remove the card and plug it back in, it works again.

I also tried to use version 0.09a of orinoco_cs with the above
but then it fails to initialize with the following messages:

Jan  5 16:18:17 maclay cardmgr[3257]: socket 1: D-Link DWL-650
Jan  5 16:18:17 maclay cardmgr[3257]: executing: 'modprobe hermes'
Jan  5 16:18:17 maclay cardmgr[3257]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco'
Jan  5 16:18:17 maclay cardmgr[3257]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs '
Jan  5 16:18:17 maclay kernel: orinoco_cs: Card Services release does 
not match!
Jan  5 16:18:17 maclay cardmgr[3257]: + 
/lib/modules/2.4.17/pcmcia/orinoco_cs.o: init_module: Operation
not permitted

I have disabled the CONFIG_MODVERSIONS when compiling the kernel.

Anyone have any good suggestions?
