[Madwifi-devel] Re: [Madwifi-users] Problem with madwifi in Compaq EVO N1020v + FC3 + 2.6.10-1_741

[Samuel Díaz García]

Yes, I has had time to test it.

With the CVS sources (30/1/2005) i tried it and I have that problem.

I use some network profiles (depending in what iface i use), because I 
use the same IP in all ifaces, but only use one at the time (only for 
tests purposes).

I explain it a bit, I have an eth0 (8139too), an eth1 (orinoco_cs), an 
eth1 (prism), ath0 (ath_pci). In all ifaces I have aliases for another 
subnets. All ifaces (and aliases) uses the same IP (in their owner 
networks).

Well, when I have the eth0 iface ON and I insert my atheros ABG, it 
brings up correctly:

PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10
divert: allocating divert_blk for ath0
ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6
ath0: 802.11 address: 00:0b:6b:20:1c:0e
ath0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BE traffic
ath0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BK traffic
ath0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic
ath0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic
ath0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x1f000000, irq=10

And then I have to bring up my ath0 iface (normal operation).
But when I eject my atheros card and bring down eth0 and insert the 
Atheros PCCARD, dmesg say me:

PCI: 0000:02:00.0: class 2 doesn't match header type 02. Ignoring class.
PCI: not setting up bridge 0000:02:00.0 for bus 3
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64

And YES, when I have ath0 and eth0 ON, lspci -v say me they have the 
same IRQ=10.

What can I do to solve the issue?
