[laptop-discuss] Success with LinkSys WPC11 v3.

[Stuart Mackie]

LinkSys WPC11 v3.

Both cardbus and pcwl drivers installed (from opensolaris.org).

# devfsadm

# prtconf -v | grep pccard
value='pccard'
value='pccard,The_Linksys_Group,_Inc.,Instant_Wireless_Network_PC_Card,ISL37300P' + 'pccard274,1613' + 'pccard,network' + 'network'

# update_drv -a -i '"pccard274,1613"' pcwl

# cat /etc/driver_aliases | grep pcwl
pcwl "pccard156,2"
pcwl "pccardb,7300"
pcwl "pccard274,1613"

# ls -l /dev/pcwl*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          30 Apr  4 20:09 /dev/pcwl -> ../devices/pseudo/clone at 0:pcwl
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          65 Apr  4 20:09 /dev/pcwl0 -> ../devices/pci at 0,0/pci8086,244e at 1e/pci144d,c008 at 3/network at 0:pcwl0

# ifconfig pcwl0 plumb

Run "inetmenu" (opensolaris.org).

# ifconfig pcwl0
pcwl0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 192.168.1.11 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 0:6:25:2f:48:5e 

# wificonfig -i pcwl0 showstatus
        linkstatus: connected
        active profile: none
        essid: MACKIE
        encryption: none
        signal strength: strong(15)

Requesting DHCP config via inetmenu for pcwl0 can be a bit funny (it works on the second attempt).

I'm able to insert the card to a running system.

However, I get some error messages if the card is inserted pre-boot:

dip is: 0xdb393a30
parent dip is: 0xdb397368
set_cmd 121,fcb1 err 7f21

I have not tested WEP/WPA.


HTH,

Stuart.
