(There is a kernel panic.) 3) The previous version of orinoco_usb only worked with kernel 2.6.19, or possible earlier kernels. 4) My version of vanilla kernel-2.6.19 does not work with F-7. The system hangs while booting. For these reasons I compiled a vanilla kernel-2.6.21. Orinoco_usb works with this, but as I explained there is a problem with this kernel, as compiled by me; it hangs during boot unless I enter the interactive phase (with 'I') and type more or less at random. Presumably there is something wrong with my .config - my question was if anyone has met this problem. My probably ignorant guess as to why orinoco_usb does not work with the F-7 kernel, 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7, is that it has something to do with sharing interrupts. -- 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
