Atheros + "error 10"

[Elvar Theodorsson]

Dear ThinkPad friends!

I am having problems getting
Atheros card (AR5BMB-44) [Ambit Microsystems)
IBM FRU P/N 08K6067, alternatively 73P4302
to work in my ThinkPad T30 2366-88G due to "error 10".

Write to EEPROM worked fine using the Linux live CD to remove the 1802 and 01C9 POST errors
(http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... ht=minipci)

The card driver is version 4.1.102.133 2005-12-21

Unit instance
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&SUBSYS_057E1014&REV_01\4&139E449D&0&10F0


I realize that cards with pci id 1014 are not started in
the t30, but have not managed (lack the knowledge and skills) to use the program idchanger.c to modify the pci id, for example to: PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0012&SUBSYS_2022168C.

I would be most grateful for any assistance in this matter.

hello! find the original IDCHANGER site. on it, there is a walkthrough on how to compile and use the idchanger software. i recommend you use ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) as a host for the idchanger software. ubuntu can be run entirely from cd, without installation to your hard drive. you can contain the idchanger program on a usb stick, since your hard drive might not be easily accessible under ubuntu.

Thank you for your advice!

I installed and uppdated Suse Linux 10 including gcc on a separate hard disk and attempted to compile idchanger.c

elvartheodorsson@Albinoni:~> gcc IDChanger -o IDChanger
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start':
init.c:(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
elvartheodorsson@Albinoni:~>

Unfortunately the compile was unsuccessful.

[danage]

please edit your posts so they are not as long and only contain necessary information. i'm sorry i won't be able to help you with compiling, since i am not a programmer myself either. try the ubunutu live cd since i've been successful compiling in that environment.

Dear ThinkPad friends!

Sorry for the lengthy messages!

After having sent my last message, I was successful in compiling the idchanger.c - file

lspci -nv gave me several "Memory at" options (listed below). However only d0200000 gave somewhat reasonable output:

Albinoni:/ # ./idchanger -r 0xd0200000
Accessing adapter at 0xD0200000
Reading 0 current value 0x2053
Reading 1 current value 0x2053
Reading 2 current value 0x2053
Reading 3 current value 0x2053
Reading 4 current value 0x2053
Reading 5 current value 0x2053
Reading 6 current value 0x2053
Reading 7 current value 0x2053
Reading 8 current value 0x2053
Reading 9 current value 0x2053
Reading a current value 0x2053
Reading b current value 0x2053
Reading c current value 0x2053
Reading d current value 0x2053
Reading e current value 0x2053
Reading f current value 0x2053

However, I suspect that this "0x2053" in all addresses is not correct, and do not dare to use the write option (-w) in idchanger.

Would be most grateful for further help

Yours sincerely
Elvar

does your linux use the madwifi drivers? madwifi is necessary.
