Very Computer

All,

---Current Config---
Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
Kernel 2.4.9 on an i686
orinoco_cs is the version that came with the 2.4.9 kernel download. "
The new version orinoco_cs fails to compile on both of my linux
systems"
--------------------

   I have a ISA->pcmcia card that works fine with the wavelan2_cs
drivers from Lucent, but I cannot get the orinoco_cs driver to load
without giving me the following error:

Basically what I'm looking for is hard real life examples of the
commands that are supposed to be used with the orinoco_cs module. For
example I use the following to get the wavelan2_cs to work:

module "wavelan2_cs" opts "port_type=1 create_ibss=Y network_name=WIFI
station_name=CooLC_Server"

1) What are the valid options and correct syntax for the orinoco_cs
driver?

I need to know "EXACTLY" what the following files should look like:
  /etc/pcmcia/config
  /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
  /etc/pcmcia/wireless
  /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf

If someone could tar up there /etc/pcmcia directory and email it to me
I would really appreciate it.

Hi to all,

I have some problems too. My situation:
suse73 with orinoco gold cards.
The cards are detected and the green
led flashes with about 10Hz. But there
is no signal. Ping is not working.

I have a Silver Lucent card working in an ISA to PCMCIA adapter.

I had to configure the pcmcia system to use the tcic-2 chipset (or
whatever) instead of the i8...whatever.  Test your pcmcia
configuration and verify that it works.

I modified /etc/pcmcia/config to map wvlan_cs to hermes, orinoco,
orinoco_cs.  I don't know why my card was identified as a wvlan_cs or
why wvlan_cs used a different driver.  I didn't follow up on that.
Before the change, inserting the card generated an error as the pcmcia
system tried to load a nonexistant driver.

Are you sure you are getting the right modules loaded?

This is from my daemon.log
