Re: Broken Wireless in RH9

Update: I got it working.  Wanting to do an strace on cardmgr I killed
the old one and started a new one.  And now my old Orinoco card is
working with the orinoco driver.  I yet don't know whether it will
work on a reboot.

Makes sense.

My chkconfig doesn't have a "-a" option.  If you meant "depmod -a", it
runs silently.

If I do an eject and insert I see:

  Jan 16 07:34:12 spot cardmgr[2691]: executing: 'modprobe -r wavelan2_cs'
  Jan 16 07:34:13 spot cardmgr[2691]: socket 0: Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE
  Jan 16 07:34:14 spot cardmgr[2691]: executing: 'modprobe wavelan2_cs'
  Jan 16 07:34:14 spot cardmgr[2691]: + modprobe: Can't locate module wavelan2_cs
  Jan 16 07:34:14 spot cardmgr[2691]: modprobe exited with status 255
  Jan 16 07:34:14 spot cardmgr[2691]: module /lib/modules/2.4.20-28.9/pcmcia/wavelan2_cs.o not available
  Jan 16 07:34:15 spot cardmgr[2691]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

I think wavelan2_cs was the result of my trying to get my other
wireless card running, I think it would have a better time if it tried
to instead load wavelan_cs (no 2) it would be happy.

Not that any listed were failed, but I removed them anyway.

I can load wavelan_cs by hand, and orinoco.

I have backups I can look at, but I am not sure I know all the
significant files.
