Thank you. I did look at the blacklist file (it may work) but I still
need to bind the wireless card to the new driver. Do you know where such
binding info is kept?

Hello,
I am trying to change the driver binding to my PCMCIA wireless card,
from orinoco to hostap, as I need to put the card in master mode and the
orinoco driver doesn't support it. This is what I get from pccardctl
# pccardctl info
PRODID_1="INTERSIL"
PRODID_2="HFA384x/IEEE"
PRODID_3="Version 01.02"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCID=6
# pccardctl status
Socket 0:
3.3V 16-bit PC Card
Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "orinoco_cs"
I run Fedora 6 and after a lot of reading and googling I realize that
much of the PCMCIA stuff has changed alot with the new 2.6 kernel. I was
thinking of using the /etc/pcmcia/conf file and put the mapping for the
new binding there, and then restart the PCMCIA service. However, all is
changed and I am struggling to understand how I can change mapping
between the card and drivers. It appears as though the
/etc/pcmcia/conf.opts is still used
Any help is greatly appreciated, please :-)

You may want to take a look at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. I have not
tried it, but I suspect that you can ether create a file in
/etc/modprobe.d or an entry in /etc/modprobe.conf with something like:
blacklist orinoco_cs
to stop it from being loaded automatically. You will have to run
depmod after making the change in order for it to take affect. (This
is also done when you reboot...)
