No wireless in Slitaz 4.0

Hi All

When I had Slitaz 3.0, I on my dell Inspiron, I was able to install the ipw2200 firmware and then install the orinoco_cs module so that my Netgear Wireless B card would function.  I cannot seem to do that in 4.0.  I can use modprobe to install both modules, but I still cannot get the wireless to function in 4.0. 

BTW the model Netgear 16-bit PCMCIA PS401

Re: No wireless in Slitaz 4.0

[c]modprobe pcmcia[/c]

Wireless adapter card plugged in use pccardctl status , pccardctl ident,

pccardctl info ,pccardctl eject ,pccardctl insert commands.

Open a second term:

tail -f /var/log/messages

[c]modprobe -r orinoco_cs[/c]

[c]modprobe orinoco_cs[/c]

Post info from above commands or applicable errors from /var/log/messages

if you need more help.

Re: No wireless in Slitaz 4.0

Hereś the card info from the commands:

"NETGEAR PS401 Wireless PC", "Card", "ISL37300P", "Eval-RevA"

manfid: 0x000b, 0x7300

functions 6 (network)

pccardctl eject yeilds nothing

pccardctl insert commands gives me a help list

I tried pccardctl insert by itself, but it yielded nothing

Var/log/messages

daemon.err udevd[1487]: bind failed: Address already in use

user.notice error binding udev control socket

daemon.err udevd[1484]: error binding udev control socket

user.debug kernel: orinoco 0.15

The message appears to repeat itself

Re: No wireless in Slitaz 4.0

I wonder could the reason I am seeing udev errors is because the firmware is for ipw2200 and the module is orinoco_cs?.  This the way I had it set in Slitaz 3.0

Decided to go back to 3.0 and it works again.  Flash is installed properly as well.  Apparently, my machine only does well with 3.0. Thanx!
