Wifi Worked In Beta3. Fails In Pdaxii13, Error code 64 Options

[SiduS]

Hey,

Man I have nothing but problems doing anything.

So I got pdaxii13 full for my sl-c3200. Stupidity on my part.

So I'm hoping this is just more stupidity on my part and a simple fix.

I have a TRENDnet TEW-222CF wifi card.

It worked just fine in Beta3 and loaded as a Orinoco Prism2

Now when I plug it in it shows in the Card Monitor as:

Agere Systems Hermes-I based PCMCIA Wireless Adapter

I look at dmesg and all it shows is:

pxa_pcmcia_init(0)
: Wireless, HCF failure: "Error code 64"

I try

cardctl status and it shows

Socket 0:
5V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]

Socket1:
3.3V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready], [bat dead], [bat low]

I don't remember having to do anything in beta3 to get it to work.

Any suggestions?

Hermes WiFi support was added in pdaXii13 5.3.4 as far as I can tell, and it seems to have messed up some other cards. From this thread ( http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...systems&st=240# ) Meanie said to try deleting /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf, restarting the PCMCIA service, and seeing what cardctl ident shows, but someone else (Fatty) said it didn't work.

You could try deleting /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf and seeing if that works. Otherwise you could reflash to version 5.3.3 if you can find it which should work.

try deletimg /etc/pcmcia/agere and /etc/pcmcia/hermes as well...

try deletimg /etc/pcmcia/agere and /etc/pcmcia/hermes as well...

Does the same apply for r198, my Socket card has stopped working?

[SiduS]

try deletimg /etc/pcmcia/agere and /etc/pcmcia/hermes as well...

Didn't make a difference.

Can you post your

cardctl ident
cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab

for Meanie's checking? My Z has been flashed back to 5.3.3 (again).

i need output for 5.3.3 (when its working) and 5.4.1 (when its not working) to compare.

actually, send me all the .conf files under /etc/pcmcia and also the config file under /etc/pcmcia for 5.3.3

ok, i think i found the problem. i will upload a build 5.4.2 tomorrow for testing...

Wow, thank you so much!

I'll have to flash back to pdaxii13.

I flashed to R198 and I think its picking it up properly now. Here's the output from dmesg.

pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1

The card is a Prism II so i don't know if that Station name part is important.

I don't know enough to get the card to connect. its missing its network script file. So I just created one quickly but probably did it wrong. And I configured the lan / wifi tool in X to a correct profile but it wont connect.

However iwconfig does show good output just not associated to anything.

I can't find the cardctl command to give you that output.

And the only .conf files in /etc/pcmcia were related to usb and bluetooth and the config.opts file.

in 2.6 kernel is it pccardctl

Meanie has uploaded new 5.4.2 for testing. I have tested it together with hdimage-full.tgz 5.4.1beta and got same result. Since I've flashed back to 5.3.3 again, can you try also?
