Hi -- I'm trying to get the wireless LAN card that came with my PCG-GRX616MP Vaio working. cardctl ident gives: product info: "Sony Corporation", "PCWA-C150", "Version 01.01", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) I'm using Gentoo linux and have followed the usual instructions. I've tried all the drivers from the pcmcia-cs package and get this message: Jul 8 16:36:05 [kernel] Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.2.4 Jul 8 16:36:05 [kernel] Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe: Jul 8 16:36:05 [cardmgr] watching 2 sockets Jul 8 16:36:05 [cardmgr] starting, version is 3.2.4 Jul 8 16:36:06 [cardmgr] socket 0: Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter Jul 8 16:36:06 [kernel] cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean. Jul 8 16:36:06 [cardmgr] executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs' Jul 8 16:36:06 [cardmgr] bind 'orinoco_cs' to socket 0 failed: Operation not permitted lsmod gives: Module Size Used by Not tainted orinoco_cs 4756 0 (unused) orinoco 38412 0 [orinoco_cs] hermes 6596 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco] ds 7432 2 [orinoco_cs] i82365 41408 2 pcmcia_core 44384 0 [orinoco_cs ds i82365] I get "Operation not permitted" with all the drivers I've tried. Needless to say, the card does not appear as wlan0 or eth1 in ifconfig. Googling this error message finds lots of questions but no answers :-( Has anyone got this card working under Linux? If so, which driver did you use? Thanks, Tom
