I use a wavelan (orinoco gold and silver) with a 2.4.13 kernel on my T21 laptop. Main issue I had was initially using the wavelan drivers at www.wavelan.com and then moving to the much better hermes/orinoco_cs drivers. I had a set of commands and conf file for the older drivers in /etc/pcmcia/config and also called the wavelan_cs drivers in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts which caused problems. I went through my /etc/pcmcia/config file and looked for any card bindings for the older driver and then also verified that I had compiled the kernel options correctly for the hermes/orinoco_cs drivers. With a few minor changes to the above files, my orinoco gold and silver cards work very well. I would check what drivers you are using (there are three different drivers) and how you have the config files for wireless and pcmcia setup in /etc/pcmcia. -- Michael Perry | "Do or do not; there is no try" Master Yoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lnxpowered.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
