Hi,
Newbie question so don't laugh.
I'm connecting an old laptop to my Mac Airport wireless network using a
Lucent Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card.
In order to do so, I need to compile PCMCIA source and the Orinoco cards
source code.
The Orinoco install instructions involve un-tarring the cards source
code into the pcmcia source code directory and the making the code.
So far, so good.
My problem is that I don't want to install debian onto a machine,
specifically for its fantastic package management abilities only to
break it by messing around with source code builds outside of the
apt/dselect sandbox.
Especially as making the pcmcia source might install into non-debian
standard locations on the file system.
Anybody have any advice?
Andy
