I'm trying to get a new Netgear MA521 802.11b card working in Woody. According to what I've read, this card uses the Realtek RTL 8180L chipset and some have apparently had success with it in various distros. (The Linksys WPC11v.4 is supposed to have the same chipset.) Object-code drivers with open-source bindings for RH 7.3 and 9 are available on Realtek's site, but I can't get them to work. The precompiled driver complains about an undefined symbol do_BUG (no surprise there) so I recompiled it. I am running the stock 2.4.18-bf2.4 and using gcc 2.95.4 and the RH7.3 version of the driver. This is what I get (notice the extra spaces where the device has no name or address):
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device . Please try using pci=biosirq. PCI: Setting latency timer of device to 64 RTL8180: : region #0 not a PIO resource, aborting RTL8180: wlan driver load failed rtl8180: no devices found, RTL8180 Wireless Lan Driver 2003-10-17 unregistered rtl8180_24x.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters I tried adding 'pci=biosirq' and it just says 'rtl8180_24x.o: invalid parameter parm_pci'. Here's what I get from cardctl ident: Socket 0: no product info available manfid: 0x0000, 0x024c function: 6 (network) PCI id: 0x10ec, 0x8180 Socket 1: no product info available I see a similar message about "No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0x????" when the kernel is booting. (The ???? is a hex address but I didn't catch it as it flew by.). PCMCIA is loaded and working; my 10/100 card works just fine. Any ideas? Maybe Netgear changed the chipset... bastages.
