Hi Folks,
I do have a Compaq WL100 card I would like to use in my RedHat 8.0 based
Notebook.
I did use the current CVS-Snapshot from the Server, which is running
perfectly in a Desktop-PC using a WL200 card.
When inserting the WL100 into the Notebook I do get the following
error in /var/log/messages:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dec 13 10:05:31 porty cardmgr[2262]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/hostap_cs.o'
Dec 13 10:05:31 porty kernel: hostap_cs: 0.0.0 CVS (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>)
Dec 13 10:05:31 porty kernel: hostap_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 3.3, irq 3, io 0x0180-0x01bf

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems like the driver can't initilize the card.
iwconfig wlan0 produced the following output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"test"

Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ifconfig wlan0 produced the following output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the driver doesn't even recognize the Cards MAC-Adress...hmmm....
Thanks for your help....Carsten
