Question: Wavelan 11 Mb/s Problem 

Forum: PCMCIA Wireless Network Adapter Issues
Date: 2000, Jun 15
From: Randy Broman rbroman

Attempting to install Wavelan 11 Mb/s PCMCIA card(s) in "non-laptop" using Wavelan PCI adapter. RedHat system with 2.2.14 kernel. Using Wavelan 6.00 driver from their site, and PCMCIA 3.1.16. System logs below .... to me it looks like PCMCIA services comes up OK .... but when the card is inserted the system freezes. On insertion card emits one high beep, on removal a high and a low.

Ideas appreciated, Randy

Following an /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start

Now the Wavelan card is inseted into the PCMCIA slot ...... the machine freezes ...... and then the card is removed

It looks like the card is recognized, a socket is set up, the driver is loaded, but then something goes wrong.
