Title: WLAN problem
Post by: mizo on July 28, 2004, 12:17:41 am

Hi,

I have a C860 and Buffalo WLI2-CF-S11 WLAN-card. Wih the stock ROM the card is detected and works with no problem. No success in getting it to work on other ROMs I've tried (pdaXrom, OZ). Both say it's an unsupported card.

pdaXrom 1.0.5 is supposed to support this card. This incompatibility with C860 has been listed as a bug on their site.

Is there anything I can do to work around this except wait for half a year for a fix or buy another card?

Ok, looks the entry I mentioned just disappeared from the buglist along with some other entries. Now, please fill me in, am I dealing with a bug here or problem between chair and monitor?

We always remove double posted bug reports - we can't fix the bug twice :-)

I PM'ed you so we can try and solve the problem :-)

Problem solved by adding the following entry to /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf:

Code: [Select]

card "Buffalo WLI2-CF-S11"
  manfid 0x026f,0x030b
  bind "orinoco_cs"
Thanks to Laze for assistance!
