I have a ThinkPad A20P that I just bought and I am trying to get both the internal wired NIC and an Orinoco Silver PCMCIA card working. Both work under Windoze 2000 and under Knoppix, but not Debian "stable".
All that was necessary to get it working under Knoppix was to add the appropriate section in /etc/network/interfaces for both NIC's and restart "networking". I am running Debian stable with kernel 2.4.21, since I read that 2.4.21 supported this card well. I put "orinoco_cs" in "/etc/modules" since the modules that Knoppix used were "hermes", "orinoco" and "orinocol_cs". The end of "dmesg" where the wireless card appears looks like: hermes.c: 4 Dec 2002 David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> orinoco.c 0.13b (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others) orinoco_cs.c 0.13b (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> etc) so the modules are loaded but they do not appear to find the wireless NIC. Any ideas about what I could try, or what further information I would need to provide for the experts would be appreciated. -- Victor R.
