| Post subject: | Orinco WiFi Supported??? |
I have a D-link 520 wireless card that works great under Mandrake (doesn't work out-of-the-box on RedHat) using the Orinco.pci driver. Since adding a PVR250 to my existing 401 this past weekend (frontend and backend on the same machine), I've been getting a lot of segfaults in both Myth 0.12 and 0.13. They occure frequently when both cards are recording, and I try and watch the recording mpg-2 stream. Or, if I am watching a show and I mark it to record, exit to the menu, then hit watch live tv (on the 401). It seems to do great if I leave it alone and let it record and watch after it finishes, but if I attempt to watch a recording stream, it is hit-or-miss. I haven't seen anyone else on the myth-user list complaining about these issues, so I'm guessing it is my setup. So, I'm considering moving over to KnoppyMyth, but I want to make sure my wireless card is supported and isn't difficult to set up, including wep (must have, I got bandwidth robbers around me) - can't get the listings without it. Else, I'll compile w/ debugging and let everyone tell me what I've done wrong. Thanks |

It should be supported with the linux-wlan-ng which I believe is in the default install of knoppmyth. not sure if it will autodetect and setup or not, but setting it up shouldn't be hard. I think it should be supported by the prism2_pci driver not the orinoco_pci driver, at least my netgear pci card will work with either of those, but the prism2 driver that goes with the linux_wlan_ng project is MUCH more stable. |

Either works. The Orinico driver is trying to work for most cards. For some reason Mandrake packages it, rather than both. But it works well for me. I'll have to d/load KnoppyMyth tonight and give it a whirl. thanks |

yeah on my netgear card both drivers will work, but I always had problems with the orinoco driver, but the prism driver works much better for me and it's the one most debian based distros tend to use. |
