No changes to orinoco are planned - it works perfectly here. Any more concrete failure descriptions?

cardctl ident ?
lsmod ?
dmesg ?

Here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7367&hl=), here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7025&hl=) and here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6801&hl=) what I have for Sharp ROM. Might be useful. There was a ticket on http://bugs.openembedded.org/ (http://bugs.openembedded.org/) but I cant log in there now and can't find it. It was with number between 63-68 cant remember exactly. In the caption there is  "TEW-222CF". In adition to the ticket I can add than it hangs not on inset but on iniciating the card. In the ticket  I think there is all three which you are asking for. Right nnow I'm wit Sharp ROM but will flash OZ for testing and debuging.

Looks like a prism card which should be in hostap.conf, not in hermes.conf. Add it to hostap.conf and remove it from hermes.conf. Then restart pcmcia and reinsert your card. If that doesn't work, I need the lsmod and dmesg from OZ running, the ones from SharpROM don't help.

Yes it's Prism2
Those on http://bugs.openembedded.org/ (http://bugs.openembedded.org/) I think are from OZ. Flashing now and do them again. And try to modify *.conf files

Excuse my ignorance but I'm not sure what should I do with thi conf files.
Should I move

Code: [Select]

card "Orinoco or Intersil Prism 2 Wireless"
  manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
  bind "orinoco_cs" or I should do something other.
Sory but I'm n00b

If this entry describes your card (what you can check via cardctl ident), then delete it from hermes.conf, put it into hostap.conf and change "bind orinoco_cs" to "bind hostap_cs". Restart pcmcia and reinsert your card. What happens then? Look also into dmesg and lsmod then.

Thanks Mickeyl. I think it is ok now. At least it dosen't hangs. Now I don't know which of two devices to set up but somewhere there was explanation. I'm going to search it.

If this is true for all Prism2 cards then why this

Code: [Select]

card "Orinoco or Intersil Prism 2 Wireless"
 manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
 bind "orinoco_cs"is in hermes.conf by default.

orinoco is intended for hermes based cards, but also handles a couple of prism cards. hostap is the "more natural" driver for prism cards though.

I have an Intersil card that works and a LInksys card that does not. Where are hostap.conf and hermes.conf files? Where should the Linksys card be? The Intersil card seems to be using hostap.

Thanks,
Dan

By memory "/etc/pcmci" or somethink like this.
One of them before .conf has _cs
