[gentoo-laptop] D-Link DWL-650

[Alex Laughlin-Dendy]

Hi,

    I've got a D-Link DWL-650 PCMCIA wireless card and I'm trying to
make it work with gentoo and my Dell laptop. I'm competely clueless
here as I've never made wireless work on linux before. I've tried
using ndiswrapper and cardmgr to load the drivers, but ndiswrapper
won't see the hardware at all and cardmgr gives me these error
messages when I put the card in:

Jun 14 11:08:57 [cardmgr] socket 0: D-Link DWL-650
Jun 14 11:08:58 [kernel] hermes @ IO 0x280: Timeout waiting for card
to reset (reg=0x0000)!
Jun 14 11:08:59 [wait_for_sysfs] error: unknown bus, please report to
<linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> 'pcmcia'
Jun 14 11:08:59 [wait_for_sysfs] either wait_for_sysfs (udev 045)
needs an update to handle the device
'/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0.0' properly (unknown bus) or the
sysfs-support of your device's driver needs to be fixed, please report
to <linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>
Jun 14 11:08:59 [cardmgr] get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource
temporarily unavailable

I take it I'm not using the right driver. What driver should I be
using? Is there an easy way to make these cards work?

Thanks. :-)

I suppose you have enabled pcmcia/cardbus when you compiled your kernel?

I have a DWL 650+ and I use acx100.
# emerge acx100

D-Link changes chipssets among the same "version" of the card. I have a 
DWL-650G rev C, which is Atheros (although I'm running windows, I'm 
running Wireless capture software, which requires a special driver --- 
I'm using a NetGear with a known Atheros chipset in my Gentoo machine). 
I'm confused by which card you might have, unlikely it's the same as 
mine, but you'll have to dig to figure it out. Maybe just try a couple 
of things.

About masked packages - find the howto, use it. All the Atheros 
(MadWifi) projects are masked, too.

I'm using the RevP card. I've read that it uses the Prism3 chipset,
but I can't get that to work with the card. Is there a seperate driver
that I need to download for it or something?

You only need to emerge and try. I have three different driver
suggestions for you to try:

1. hermes driver included in the kernel
2. emerge hostap-driver
3. emerge linux-wlan-ng

See http://hostap.epitest.fi for info about hostap
http://linux-wlan.org for linux-wlang-ng
