Hi,
I'm having trouble with a wireless card using the orinoco driver.
The card is (pccardctl ident output):
Socket 2:
product info: "Dell", "TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card", "Version 01.01", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
I'm running suse 11.3 with kernel 2.6.34.7
dmesg output shows that the card is supported by the orinoco_cs kernel module:

It first tryes to connect to an AP using WPA, but it fails.
Thereafter it connects to a second AP using WEP.
If I use the traditional method with ifup, I can use the card with WEP
but not WPA. With NetworkManager I cannot even connect using WEP.
I have also used the latest compat-wireless tarball configured with
the options:
CONFIG_MAC80211_HT_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG=y
but it didn't make any difference.
My question is:
Does orinoco_cs really support WPA or not?
Is the problem really with the orinoco_cs module or with something else
(may be wpa_supplicant)?
Another issue I have with the the orinoco_cs module is the following:
During suspend and resume there is a two minutes timeout period.
More precisely, after I start to suspend the laptop the screen
goes black, the message
s2disk: snapshotting the system
appears and then there is a two minutes period where the screen stays black
and nothing happens. After the two minutes, the messages snapshot ready
appears, the snapshot image is saved to the disk and the laptop turns off.
On resume, the kernel founds the snapshot image, loads it and then
stays two minutes doing nothing. After the two minutes, the text
s2disk: returned to userspace
appears on screen, there is some disk activity and then the sistem is back.
If I blacklist the orinoco_cs module, then suspend and resume work properly.
I have no idea if the two problems are related or not. If any of the issues
has been already discussed, please point me where I can find such discussion.
If you need more informations or you want me to test some code let me know.
Please CC the answer to me as I'm not subscribed.
Thanks.
