[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Re: [Fwd: [lwlan-user] errors while attempting to run "make"]

[Dan Finn]

cardctl ident shows my card:

[ root @ stewie : ~ ] : cardctl ident
Socket 0:
   product info: "D-Link", "DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP", 
"ISL37101P-10", "A3"
   manfid: 0x000b, 0x7110
   function: 6 (network)

however I'm not getting much from dmesg or any of my system logs when I 
plug it in, except for noticing that the prism2_cs driver is being loaded.

prism2cs_init: prism2_cs.o: 0.2.2 Loaded
prism2cs_init: dev_info is: prism2_cs
prism2_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 9, io 0x0200-0x027f

prism2sta_ifstate: hfa384x_drvr_start() failed,result=-110

and every time I plug the card in I get a line like this in syslog:

Sep 12 12:58:56 localhost cardmgr[4628]: socket 0: D-Link DWL-650 rev P 
802.11b WLAN card

looks like I have all the same modules as you loaded, excpet I'm using a 
pcmcia card,not usb

[ root @ stewie : ~ ] : lsmod | grep 'prism\|p80211'
prism2_cs              82344  1
p80211                 36976  1 prism2_cs
ds                     19044  3 prism2_cs
pcmcia_core            71540  3 prism2_cs,ds,yenta_socket
