Orinoco problem (Pcmcia problem?)

Hi all,
I installed Arch Linux 0.7.1 Noodle on a laptop with a Orinoco pcmcia card. When I boot, I see the sit0, wifi0 and wlan0 interface, but I am unable to set a WEP key on the wlan0 interface. The error message is "Invalid argument" when I issue the "iwconfig wlan0 key 1234567890" command.
I saw following thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … oco+hostap however could not get it to work...
Any ideas?

tunkaflux wrote:I have "MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"" in rc.conf and also "hwd !hotplug pcmcia" among others in the DAEMONS array...
Besides it has not much to do with your problem, MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" does already load your modules, so you should remove hwd from your DAEMONS array.
What modules does hwdetect load? ('hwdetect --show-modules')

I really don know what I have to do because the latest kernel which I am using now (kernel 2.6.21) don`t need patch.Ca somebody help mi with that.
I still have no idea whats wrong.
thanks

you need to enable monitor option for your card. Either recompile card driver with monitor option enabled or check if kernel has monitor option for your card, enable it and recompile kernel. Monitor setting is not enabled by default for any wireless card.

Internet on Powerbook G3

Hey everyone! This is my first post, while, at the same time, askes a question that I am not completely sure about. I am a young user, who bought a Powerbook G3 through my old school. I had it updated to a OS 10.2.8 operating system. But I have tried using the internet through our home's secured ethernet connection. My father has an ACER with Windows Vista that gets wireless internet connection w/o a card. My question involves the use of a wireless card. I have tried numerous times to get a wireless signal, but I don't know if I need one. Please help

Yes do NOT buy that card, System requirments say 10.3 is required, since your Mac is only running 10.2.8, it will not work. Best card out there, which I am, in fact, using right now is the Lucent Technologies (NOT PROXIM) Orinoco Silver Card, Driver here: http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/
You can get them on eBay for as low as $20 last time I checked. I got mine for around there. Hope this helps. Oh here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Orinoco-Silver-PCMCIA-Wireless-B-Wi-Fi-card-Lucent-TecW0QQitemZ130245066999QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130245066999&_trkparms=72%3A570%7C3 9%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12&trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318

PowerBook G3 (PDQ) - Startup disk and PCMCIA slot problem

Hello
I have encountered a problem with my powerbook G3 (PDQ model)
Once when I had to configure my microphone, I saw that there was "Zoomed video" present in the list of audio inputs.
I thought this was a glitch, and inserted my SD card reader into the lower PCMCIA slot. Then my display got messed up.
The slot insertion doesn't seem to work right too, it resists much more than the top slot does.
It didn't react to anything except Fn-Shift-Ctrl-Power, which is Reset.
It happens in both OS9 and 10.2.
Photo: http://instagr.am/p/NtWNH/
Once I was able to insert it right so it wouldn't mess up, and i used the reader in the lower slot as usual.
When I ejected it, the card didn't pop out as usual and it was hard to pull out, and the screen was messed up as well.
The second problem is that when I start the "Startup Disk" control panel in OS9, the PowerBook hangs for no particular reason, also reacting to Reset only.
Maybe there is a bootloader I can install so I'd choose the OS I want before actually booting anything?
Could these problems be related to each other, or a dead battery? Maybe to the incorrectly set clock (however doesn't seem so)? Or related to using an Apple DVD drive?
Thanks,
~ Vladislav Korotnev

No it hasn't. What kind of battery does it use?
The power battery is dead as well (not charging nor powering the pb)

PCMCIA Performance problem on T61?

I use Compact Flash to PCMCIA card adapter to transfer the images onto my laptop. The transfer rate is around 1 mb/s. I tested the same on other laptops and I get 30Mb/s.
Is there anything wrong with T61 PCMCIA card slots? Please advise

I think if you wish to chase down your performance problem it will be helpful to post your exact machine type (4 digits on bottom sticker), OS, PC Card - Compact Flash adapter, and Compact Flash chip.
If the exact same adapter and CF chip are 30X faster in another laptop, it sounds like a Lenovo BIOS and/or OS driver update are needed.

Newbee problem - PCMCIA - GPIB Setup

Hi
This may be an extremely simple question, but here it goes:
I have just gotten an Contec PCMCIA-GPIB card for an old Thinkpad 360 model.
My problem is that I don't know how to reference to the card (address & irq).
Which should I use and what is best.
On Win95 I found IRQ 3 to be available, and adr. 03E0-03EF - so I setup the
PCMCIA card this way in the control panel - System. But how do I connect
from LabWindows 5.0 ?. I'm using a HP34401A DMM and begin with the hp34401a_init
command. Is this correct ?
I will be more than happy to receive a few lines of code used for another
PCMCIA card, then I will probably be able to tell how to setup the card.
Thanks in advance
Klaus Kragelund
[email protected]

If the revision number is C or lower, there can be problems and the card should be exchanged see http://www.ni.com/cgi-bin/search/search.cgi?scope=knowledgebase&query=1D3CIEGX for more details.
It may be a defective card. If possible, try another PCMCIA-GPIB card in that system. If it does have to be returned, RMA's are only done through phone support (512-795-8248).

PCMCIA overheat problem,

i'm planing to install a daq card 6062E along with NI multispeed can card on one laptop. the problem is that both cards tend to heat up substantialy in normal operating conitions. would that cause damage if the two cards were placed together in two PCMCIA slot residing on top of each other on one laptop?

Al Nashi,
That should not cause any problems. However, if you are using a "Series 1" PCMCIA-CAN card (part number 184272x-0x), you could upgrade to a "Series 2" PCMCIA-CAN card as those new cards require only about half the current the "Series 1" cards needed, which in turn reduces the generated heat.

Problem inserting PCMCIA card

I have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA card, and for the life of me, I cannot get it into the PCMCIA slot. I've tried both the top and bottom every direction and way I can think of. It simply won't insert. Any advice?

Hi Stieffers,
Welcome to the Lenovo forum
I know just what you mean about the PC card slot... it is *stiff* when new. And the connector may be ever so slightly mis-aligned with the slot. I had the same problem with a different (eSATA) PC Card, I thought I was going crazy! Anyway: the slot you want is the bottom one. Try (gently) pulling up (or possibly pushing down) on the end of your PC Card as you insert it. Don't break anything... but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to insert it. It will get easier on subsequent insertions.
Good luck!

PCMCIA card problem; bus not working -- connection to logic board was loose

The PCMCIA WiFi adapter on my good ol' TiBook recently stopped working all of a sudden. (OS X wasn't automatically recognizing the adapter as it used to, and the power LED on the card itself wasn't lighting up.) I thought the adapter itself was broken, but discovered the problem was with the slot itself after trying a brand new adapter in the slot.
I came across this post by user "eww" that ended up fixing the problem in less than a minute. As eww had said:
...Check to make sure your PCMCIA card cage's connection to the logic board hasn't worked loose, as they sometimes do. Release the keyboard (instructions are in your owner's manual) and flip it gently back onto the wrist rest. Look for a brown tab under the normal position of the D and X keys. That's the card cage's connector to the logic board. Press it down firmly; if it moves or clicks at all, it was loose and probably not making good contact. Test again after returning the keyboard to its place.
This worked perfectly for me. I'm posting it here so hopefully it can benefit someone else with the same problem I had. Thank you, eww!

Hi, Mihira. You're quite welcome. It's always nice to hear that an old post continues to be useful.

Pcmcia bluetooth card problem

OK, I have a bluetooth (bt) mouse, and two bt adapters. One adapter is usb and it works perfectly i.e. my bt mouse connects to it no probs. The other adaptor I have is pcmcia, which doesnt 'work'.
Here is the result of: udevinfo -a -p /sys/bus/pcmcia/devices/1.0
looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.1/1.0':
KERNEL=="1.0"
SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia"
DRIVER=="serial_cs"
ATTR{modalias}=="pcmcia:m0279c950Bf02fn00pfn00pa281F1C5Dpb7664FB1Dpc00000000pd00000000"
ATTR{prod_id2}=="Bluetooth Card"
ATTR{prod_id1}=="PCMCIA"
ATTR{card_id}=="0x950b"
ATTR{manf_id}=="0x0279"
ATTR{func_id}=="0x02"
ATTR{pm_state}=="on"
ATTR{function}=="0x00"
So udev finds it and knows what it is no probs. However, hidd --search does absolutely nothing:
>hidd --search
searching ...
>
i.e. after the hidd command it prints searching and immediately goes back to a command prompt. Its not actually doing anything. I run kde and kbluetooth doesnt register that a bluetooth adapter is present at all.
looking back at the udevinfo output I think the driver thats being assigned is worng. As far as I understand the serial_cs driver is for pcmcia modems. Under suse 10.1 my pcmcia bt adapter works perfectly but udevinfo shows that the driver is "yenta_cardbus"
can anyone explain how I could force the driver used for my pcmcia bt adapter under arch to be "yenta_cardbus" or otherwise enlighten me as to what my problem might be.
Thanks

I called it
05-bluez-pcmcia-support.rules
I rebooted but still no success.
I also tried this:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="pcmcia", ATTRS{prod_id2}=="Bluetooth Card", RUN+="aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav"
But still no success

Wifi prism pcmcia card and problems with ctrl module insert

hi
probably until initrd based kernel i can't control what module for my pcmcia wireless card zcom 325h will be used.
i think the process inserting modules for pcmcia devices is maintined by tools from pcmcia-cs pkg.
devices assigned to drivers via manfid are in /etc/pcmcia/config and in name order included /etc/pcmcia/*.conf
but when was hostap driver moved from own package into the kernel package the /etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf was removed and now i don't know how to disallow to load this ugly module after pcmcia card inserting
i would like to use orinoco_cs instead.
thanks for any help

Hello,
I am owner of AR8131 which runs with atl1c without problems.
Unfortionally it seems that module does not have any optional parameters so i guess it wont be "easy" fix.
hits:
check your bios for "NET AI" or w/e named function that checks for bad cabels ( got many problems in the past with nvidia cards if i remember correct with those type of functions )
In any case wish ya luck

Orinoco USB problems

I have an old laptop with the weird EVO LAN W200 wireless card. Previously I've used the orinoco_usb driver and it has worked. But now, with an update to kernel 2.6.30 it doesn't work anymore. The source simply can't compile. Last kernel it worked on is 2.6.27 I think.

Do you know any solution to this or do I have to revert back to an older kernel?
And you who may know something about this wireless card... Is it possible to get wpa working with the card somehow?

PCMCIA-GPIB and IBM 760XD Problem

I have two IBM 760XD identical laptops. Both have the latest BIOS update (hxet60ww). I've tried W2K SP1, WinME, and NT4 SP3 with similar results. I'm trying to use a PCMCIA- GPIB card and consistently get "One or more GPIB interfaces failed." at the "GPIB Interfaces Sequentially Verified" in the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard. NI-488.2 Software presence was verified as was the GPIB hardware presence verified. Double-click on the GPIB0 line and the Troubleshooting Wizard comes back with "Unknown Hardware Error" and various suggestions. I've tried the instructions (multiple reboots, card in/card out) to no avail. I've hot-inserted the card in W2K, the O/S installs the hardware, I reboot, same results. Same using
the NI-488.2 "Add GPIB Hardware". Version is ni488216. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If the revision number is C or lower, there can be problems and the card should be exchanged see http://www.ni.com/cgi-bin/search/search.cgi?scope=knowledgebase&query=1D3CIEGX for more details.
It may be a defective card. If possible, try another PCMCIA-GPIB card in that system. If it does have to be returned, RMA's are only done through phone support (512-795-8248).

PCMCIA acquisition problem (indicator refresh)

Hi!
I use LV 8.2 and DAQmx 8.3 drivers on laptop with NI DAQCard-6036E (PCMCIA). As a demostration I eclose acquisition.vi as attachment. Everything works fine if samples per channel is set to 500 or more (sampling rate is 1000 all the time), but when samples per channel is set to 100, indicators are refreshd every fifth iteration of while loop (if you run acquisition.vi you will noticed thah while watching loop index indicator whitch is increasing by 5). I also run this VI with other cards like USB or PCI and it works fine (indicators are refresh everyiteration of loop). I have this problem only with PCMCIA card.
I hope that somebody can help me because it is crucial for the project that I developed.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Andrej,
Thank you for posting to the NI forums. This is the expected default behavior for your device, and in general, all of our PCMCIA devices. Unlike our PCI devices, PCMCIA devices do not support DMA – they are interrupt driven. The default interrupt to trigger the onboard data fetch into RAM is setup to occur when the onboard memory is more than half full. You can change this setting to fetch the data when the onboard memory is simply “not empty”.
This is described in the following Knowledge Base article.
