Some help about the problem?
What can be the problem?
Is the pccard, the laptop, the pci, the acpi?
Some help please, I can't find anything about it!!
The card is activated when the system want, sometimes works, sometimes
not works (as I exposed in the initial message).
I tryed with acpi=noirq in kernel parameters.
I tryed with noacpi in kernel parameters.
I tryed with pci=noacpi in kernel parameters.
I tried using (in modprobe.conf):
alias ath0 ath_pci
install ath_pci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ath_pci countrycode=724
remove ath_pci /sbin/rmmod wlan_wep ; /sbin/rmmod ath_hal ; /sbin/rmmod
ath_rate_onoe ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ath_pci ; /sbin/rmmod wlan
tried (in modprobe.conf):
alias ath0 ath_pci
options ath_pci countrycode=724
tried (in modprobe.conf) deleting all ath_pci lines.
Please, I need know what can be the posibilities to continuing searching
in the web about it and doing some tests.
The madwifi package used is the downloaded from atrpms (two days ago).
Thanks!!
