Please add 'ifup eth1' output, /var/log/messages, and 'hwinfo --netcard' output of Beta4. > Please add 'ifup eth1' output Well, that is the part that is interesting. It has always been picked up as eth1 before. The information from comment #1 was when I was using 9.3. Not I have seen it picked up as wifi0 and/or wlan0. Sometimes both at the same time for the same card. Regardless I will send you that information, but I just wanted to let you know what I was seeing. Isn't there also a debug setting that I can put in? > /var/log/messages, and 'hwinfo --netcard' output of Beta4. I will have it for you shortly Created attachment 48458 [details]

ifup on wireless interface
When I configure my wireless with yast2, it shows up under ifconfig as wlan0
and wifi0 for the same card. So the log that I sent is trying ifup on both

Let me know if you need any more information It seems the card does not work properly with hostap_cs. Could you try whether the following helps: pccardctl eject switch_prism_driver orinoco rmmod hostap_cs pccardctl insert Joachim Should the card be configured before or after I run these commands? Yes that procedure fixed it. hostap_cs claims to handle devices with manifid 0x0156, 0x0002. But there are also Orinco devices that use this id, not only Prism2 ones. I'll change the default for those devices to orinoco_cs. That means for Prism2 device with that id orinoco_cs gets loaded by default, but as this driver at least works with Prism2 devices, it's the much saner default. Fix checked in for RC1. |
