hi again,
I've installed the windows driver (net8180) recommended for my card using ndiswrapper.
Just to make sure I got this right... I changed directory to where the .inf and .sys files were. Then "ndiswrapper -i NET8180.INF" to which it responded "Installing net8180." Then I issued "modprobe ndiswrapper".
Now when I type "ndiswrapper -l" I still get the same two error msgs. as before (about pcilib and lspci), but it then says:
Installed drivers:
net8180 driver installed
The light on the card generally is flashing, but sometimes it will stay lit (which makes me wonder, because that's what it does when it's connected).
It still does not load the driver at bootup (just the ones already installed 'modprobe orinoco' and 'modprobe orinoco_cs'). Then the msg:
cardmgr[53]: + /sbin/ifup eth0
ifup: Ignoring unknown interface eth0
By the time I get to the login, it's begun the error msgs. that hang the system: In trying to load the Hermes module, the eth0 error repeats and prevents me from logging in. (At which point, I need to manually power off, remove the pcmcia card and boot up again.) Does it not seem like the first step should be to make the system not attempt to load Hermes?
Hermes was the first module listed in /etc/pcmcia/config for the "orinoco_cs" device (the other two are orinoco and orinoco_cs modules, which are supposed to work with this card), so I deleted it to see whether it would help. I still get the error msg. Is there some other way to block hermes, but let it try to use one of the other modules?
Thanks. Shooting in the dark here, I know!
