Angstrom 2007.12 Pcmcia Issue, Can't get my PCMCIA Wlan Card up and running Options

[x75]

Hi there,

i just installed the new Angstrom x11 Image on my SimPad SLC. Works nice.
But i can't find a way to get my Wlan Card up and running. The card works, I used it under familiar before.

If I click on "PC/CF Cards" under Settings, I get an error message "PCMCIA initialisation failed No PCMCIA driver in '/proc/devices'"
If i open the "Root shell" and type in "pccardctl ident" it finds the card at Socket 0 and knows it's a function 6 (network) card.

What am I missing here? Can someone point me to a manual somewhere, that explains how to get the pcmcia card running under angstrom?

Thanks
Johannes

As of today there is a new unstable at the unstable images.

Anyone tried it?

Hi,

please test images again, with build date after 05.02.2008.

For opie-image there is a known error inside for missing wireless-tools.

Solution: install this ipk

Orinoco-based cards are ready for testing.

Prims 1 cards does not work (I-Gate and similar) because of error while card init from pcmcia-subsystem.

Timeframe to solve this problem is limited and help is welcome.

Here's my report for the 2007-12.r3 images, dated feb. 6 2008:

Inserting a PCMCIA CF adaptor works,

CODE

pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

$ pccardctl ident

Inserting a Psion Dacom Gold Card Global 56K+Fax sometimes works. I get either

CODE

$ pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "RIPICAB", "RC288ACL", "021", "A"
manfid: 0x0013, 0x0000
function: 2 (serial)

or (I got the following only once, after a suspend/resume)

CODE

$pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "Psion Dacom", "Gold Card Global 56K+Fax", "56K+Fax", "V8.25"
manfid: 0x016c, 0x0005
function: 2 (serial)

Inserting a Prism2 card (SMC 2632W) gives the following in th console:

CODE

cs: pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset.
$ pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
no product info available
$ cs: pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset.

Inserting an ethernet card gives:

CODE

$ pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
$ pccardctl status
Socket 0:
5.0V 16-bit PC Card
$ pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
no product info available

I don't have my Orinoco here, so I'll have to test it later.
