Hello,
I have a speedstream 1021 wireless pcmcia 11 Mbps card. I've scoured
the net and newsgroups for answers and I haven't been able to get
anywhere. I've followed the hardware vendor's instructions, but still
can't get the card to be recognized correctly. When I do a cardinfo I
receive the following:
product info: "Texas InstrumentS", "ACX100 CaraBus Model Board"
manfid: 0x0097, 0x8402
function: 6 (network)
The following is on the vendor's support knowledbase as to how to set
up the card:
Example only: Configuring for Linux Orinoco Driver
§ SpeedStream Product: 1021
§ OS: Linux 2.4.18
§ Driver: PCMCIA-3.1.33+. The latest version can be found at
sourceforge.net (see link in Further Information section).
In this example the [CONFIG_PCMCIA] is not enabled in the kernel;
instead the PCMCIA-3.1.33 suite is used.
1. Confirm that the Linux kernel was compiled with option
[CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS] enabled.
2. Confirm the Wireless Tools package is installed (this is included
in Redhat Linux 7.2+).
3. Append following to the [/etc/pcmcia/config] file:
card "SpeedStream Wireless PCMCIA"
manfid 0x02ac, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"
4. Make sure you let the PCMCIA package use its own network scripts
during installation.
5. Include the following information in your
[/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts] file:
*,*,*,00:30:F1:*)
INFO="SpeedStream WLAN"
ESSID="[provide your network name here]"
MODE="Managed"
KEY="[if you use encryption, provide your key here]"
Note: If you have your AP (e.g. Siemens 2623) set up as a DHCP server,
make sure you set [ DHCP="y"] in the [/etc/pcmcia/network.opts] file.
Otherwise, provide the required parameters in the
[/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts] file.
It appears as though the card is not being detected correctly because
the card doesn't work when it's being detected as a acx 100. Please
help...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
George
