Hi,

I have problem with installing my wireless pcmcia network card - cisco aironet 350. It will be the second card cause first is integrated with laptop. When i insert it, the LED blink for a moment and then nothink. I don’t see the card in ifconfig, there is only wlan0 which is my first card. I don’t know how i have to instal driver for it. Please help:)

AFAIK,you need to install the driver/firmware via YaST,it’s called airo_cs,then,configure via YaST- network devices - network settings

OK, i have this airo_cs file but i found it and downloaded it, not via YAST.So how can i installl it? Maybe i need some specyfic repository? Or can i install is somehow from hdd. Im beginner in suse:)

My error, it is already in the kernel. What version of SuSE are you running ?

I’m using suse 11 32-bit , kernel 2.6.25.16-0.1-pae.

wlan0 is my first card and is worknig ok.

After i plug in the pcmcia card, there is one LOG:

Sep 29 17:21:44 linux-o0nh kernel: cs: pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset.

but i don’t know what it’s mean

I don’t know what else should i check

#6

have you tried modprobing airo_cs ? see if that brings up something

Andy

#7 
#modprobe airo_cd

returns nothing, so i assume that module is already loaded?

Most PCMCIA-format wireless cards are Cardbus devices and show up as
PCI devices. Yours does not. That is also evident in the _cs in the
driver name. One of the difficulties is that there are not a lot of
such devices and the kernel testing is not terribly rigorous. I have a
card that used the ide_cs driver that took about two days of
concentrated debugging to get it to work with a 2.6.26 kernel.

I suggest that you go through the output of dmesg, collect all the
items that relate to the PCMCIA driver (probably Yenta) and your cards
and send it to linux-pcmcia@lists.infradead.org. That is where the
PCMCIA experts hang out. My thoughts are that you need more expertise
than you are likely to get here.
