Lucent ISA-PCMCIA adapter

[angilberto]

Hi folks,

I'm having trouble trying to use 2 Lucent ISA-PCMCIA adapter with StarOS.

StarOS can't find the second ISA-PCMCIA adapter (it keeps saying: 2 sockets, but I suppose it should say 4 sockets...)

Each adapter runs fine if its the only card on my PC-box (as client or as an AP).

Is this a normal bahavior ou is there any setting to make this setup possible?

Thank you,
Angilberto.

ISA adapter all use the same IO and IRQ. At this time we have support for only one ISA device. They are being phased out, and are very hard to get, also most newer boards do not even have an ISA slot.

PCI is the way to go for multiple units.

Huumm... I´m in trouble now -- I only have ISA adapters...
Would this info help somehow?

"...4. Note about the IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN ISA Card
================================================== =====

The swap-box that comes with the IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN ISA Card uses
(factory set default) I/O address 3E2. By default the i82365 module of
the pcmcia package only probes at 3E0.
To read the manual page on this, type the command:
man i82365

Two possible solutions are:

1) Change the I/O address of the card. To do that see Figure C-1
"I/O Address Strapping of your ISA Card" in the "IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN,
ISA Card User's Guide".

2) Load the i82365 module with the "extra_sockets" parameter set to 1.

On a RedHat 5.2 system, put this in the file "/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia":
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS="extra_sockets=1"
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=
Look in the PCMCIA-HOWTO for notes about the other distributions..."

Thank you.
