Hi.
I cannot get my dwl-650p working on Debian Etch ("modprobe hostap_cs"
does not create an extra interface), and I think that this might be due
to a possible error in the manfid for my card. "pccardctl ident"
returns:
Socket 0:
product info: "D-Link", "DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP", "ISL37101P-10", "A3"
manfid: 0x000b, 0x7110
function: 6 (network)
To find out if my card is supported in linux, I read the source code in
the linux-2.6.19.1 kernel that I download from www.kernel.org. The ids
in linux-2.6.19.1/drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_plx.c start:
{ 0x000b, 0x7110 } /* D-Link DWL-650 Rev. P1 */,
{ 0x000b, 0x7300 } /* Philips 802.11b WLAN PCMCIA */,
{ 0x0101, 0x0777 } /* 3Com AirConnect PCI 777A */,
{ 0x0126, 0x8000 } /* Proxim RangeLAN */,
{ 0x0138, 0x0002 } /* Compaq WL100 */,
while the ids in linux-2.6.19.1/drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_cs.c
start:
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x000b, 0x7100),
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x000b, 0x7300),
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x0101, 0x0777),
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x0126, 0x8000),
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x0138, 0x0002),
Then I notice that these two lists are identical except for the first
entry, which is my card! I also think that the dwl-650p is supported
because of previous posts to this mailing list, such as:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hostap/7384/focus=7442
Could this problem be the reason why "modprobe hostap_cs" does not
create an extra interface?
