I'm using an Orinoco Silver PCMCIA card at this moment with Fedora-1, and it works perfectly with the standard orinoco_cs driver. So in principle your card should work. What does "cardctl ident" say? It should tell you what the machine thinks the card is. Also, does lsmod list orinoco_cs as one of the modules loaded? If not you could try saying "modprobe orinoco_cs". Also what do "ifconfig eth0" and "iwconfig eth0" say? Finally, you could see what cardmgr entries there are in /var/log/messages "grep cardmgr /var/log/messages". -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
