Hello all.
After a frustrating weekend trying to get my Orinoco Gold pcmcia wireless card
to load, I give up, and turn to you. I know little about getting this card
to work, but here is what I *do* know...
-ifconfig doesn't
show a wlan0 interface
-dmesg shows it sees
a card inserted (PC Card bus but nothing more)
-iwconfig doesn't
have any interfaces showing wireless extensions
-a search of the
file system shows the existence of orinoco.ko orinoco_cs.ko and
hermes.ko
-modprobe orinoco,
modprobe orinoco_cs, and modprobe hermes doesn't seem to make a
difference.
-I assume I
shouldn't need to compile any drivers as they seem to already be on the system
(see above)
Any walk-thru or
advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Christian
