Intel 2011 Problems with orinoco_cs

[Jasmeet Sidhu]

Hello,

I have been trying for the past week to get my Intel PRO/Wireless 2011
pcmcia card to work. I did manage to get it working using the Spectrum24t
driver.  It seems to work without a problem.  However, I cannot get the
orinoco_cs driver to work with this card.  I've search all the lists, and
the information regarding this card is very scarce. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

I am using Redhat Linux 7.2 with Linux kernel 2.4.18 and Pcmcia
pcmcia-cs-3.1.33

When I insert this card and do not set an ipaddress (static nor dhcp) I
get this in the syslog:

Mar 10 20:28:18 fatCow cardmgr[2836]: socket 0: Intel PRO/Wireless 2011
Mar 10 20:28:18 fatCow cardmgr[2836]: executing: 'modprobe hermes'

Mar 10 20:28:18 fatCow cardmgr[2836]: executing: './network start eth0'

iwconfig eth0:

[root at fatCow pcmcia]# iwconfig eth0
Warning : Device eth0 has been compiled with version 12
of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 11.
Some things may be broken...

Notice the warning, is this bad?  How can I resolve this?

now I try and force an essid:

	[root at fatCow pcmcia]# iwconfig eth0 essid "ENG_80211"
	[root at fatCow pcmcia]# iwpriv eth0 force_reset
	<---log output--->
	Mar 10 20:34:59 fatCow kernel: hermes @ 0x180: Timeout waiting for
card to reset (reg=0x0000)!


Now I tell it to use dhcp:

here is /proc/interrupts

now here is some output when this card successfuly works with Spectrum24t
driver:
