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 ( https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...systems&st=240# (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22798&hl=agere%20systems&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.

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'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
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia1.0
eth0: Hardware identity 800c:0000:0001:0000
eth0: Station identity 001f:0002:0001:0004
eth0: Firmware determined as Intersil 1.4.2
eth0: Ad-hoc demo mode supported
eth0: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported
eth0: WEB supported. 104-bit key
eth0: MAC address 00:E0:98:AF:1C:E4
eth0: Station name "Prism I"
eth0: ready
eth0: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0. irq 137. io 0xc4840000-0xc484003f
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.

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?
-
I flashed to 5.4.2 base. The version showed 5.4.2 (Sally). And the Pretec wifi ... has the same result. Error code 64 on dmesg. cardctl ident is the same. cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab showed:
Socket 0: Agere systems Hermes-I based PCMCIA wireless Adapter

Wahoo.. I deleted the wlags49.conf and it worked.
Thanks so much!

Thanks Meanie, the Pretec wifi card now works with 5.4.3 without any tweak!
