Hi all,

I installed NetBSD 3.01 on my 1200 recently and saw that the wi driver for Prism WLAN cards is not included in the generic kernel. I already suspected that this was done for some reason, nevertheless I compiled a custom kernel with wi support to give it a try. Tested 2 cards, but no luck. Relevant dmesg excerpts below:

card1:
8<-----------------
pccard0 at mainbus0
pcmcia0 at pccard0
wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <SMC, SMC2632W, Version 01.02, >
wi0:wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: init failed
wi0: failed to attach controller
8<-----------------


card2:
8<-----------------
pccard0 at mainbus0
pcmcia0 at pccard0
wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <ELSA, AirLancer MC-11, Version 01.01, >
wi0:wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: init failed
wi0: failed to attach controller
8<-----------------

Both cards work fine on other platforms (e.g. NetBSD hpcarm). The SMC even works perfectly under AmigaOS. Can anybody tell me what the issue with this driver is?

Regards,
Jost Menke
