PCMCIA Wireless card problems

[Guest pipplo]

Hi guys, having some trouble here.

 

the drivers are included on the CD that it came with the card. I followed the instructions included in their INSTALL file and I didn't see any errors but when i restarted I get some errors on the screen during boot, something about insmod, and something during the pcmcia startup. I'm not sure where to find logs of those error messages though...

 

Heres the output of running "make pcmcia" as required

 

[root@localhost setup]# make pcmcia
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

One potential problem i noticed is that the mv ../ commands are moving them all to a file and not a directory...what should the target pcmcia directory be?

 

Anyway, i run cardctl and get this info out

Socket 0:

product info: "OEM", "11Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card V-3"

manfid: 0x0000, 0x0000

function: 6 (network)

 

So it is seeing the card in there. I think the key is to get the error messages for you but i am not sure wher ethey are

I found this error

[/code]

Jan 24 23:33:44 localhost cardmgr[922]: executing: 'modprobe fvnetr_cs'

Jan 24 23:33:44 localhost cardmgr[922]: + version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is compiled with

Jan 24 23:33:44 localhost cardmgr[922]: insmod exited with status 1

[/code]

 

but I ran make with my compiler with gcc 3.3.1 :-/

 

I also get this error before that one

Jan 24 21:43:25 localhost insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o.gz: init_module: Device or resource busy
Jan 24 21:43:25 localhost insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.       You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

Jan 24 21:43:25 localhost kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
Jan 24 21:43:27 localhost cups: cupsd startup succeeded

 

Any ideas guys???
