Re: Cicso wireless problem after kernel update

Help, Please!

Once I boot with [any] newer kernel (newer than 2.6.5.1.358) then insert the cisco 340 nic, my computer partially dies.

My computer uses the yenta_socket. pcmcia_core shows airo_cs, ds, yenta_socket (from lsmod). I don't know where to start troubleshooting...

Update:
I've updated my system to 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 and still have the same problem. I went on vacation this last week, and used my wireless from numerous hotels; Always the same, kerel xx.358 works fine, and couldn't get anywhere with newer kernels.

I have a problem with my laptop since I updated my fc2 kernel. With kernel 2.6.5.1.358, my Cisco 340 pcmcia card worked perfectly with almost no manual config. The other day, I ran up2date, and it put my kernel to 2.6.6.1.435, and ever since then, if I boot up (card NOT set to auto load) then insert the airo340, it just sits there and blinks.

At this point basically, my laptop is DEAD. No programs will run, I can't even get a terminal window to load, the mouse works, and I can even use existing terminal, but no new ones?! At this point, XINETD appears to be DEAD, and when I try to shutdown (init 0 or shutdown -h now), the laptop gets to STOPPING XINETD, says FAILED to stop, and then stops on Shutdown LOGGING, and will just sit there for hours.

If I choose the older kernel in grub, the cisco card works perfectly again.

I tried lsmod (newer kernel), and immediately, aes, airo_cs, ds, and airo all load, and pcmcia_core shows that airo_cs is using it.

My laptop is a Compaq NX7000 [Centrino]. My brother has the same model laptop, and has duplicated the problem with his airo 350 card.

Proudly removed windows from my desktop 11/2002 and from my laptop 1/2004 -- Never been happier!
