Thanks, Florian. Just to complete this story, before I move it to debian-laptop, here is the corresponding output on the thinkpad 600E. It does seem to indicate a disconnect between the orinoco and ieee80211 drivers. ... orinoco_cs 13608 1 orinoco 42804 1 orinoco_cs hermes 7552 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco pcmcia 49732 6 hostap_cs,orinoco_cs ... ieee80211_crypt_wep 4896 0 ieee80211 23272 0 ieee80211_crypt 5252 3 hostap,ieee80211_crypt_wep,ieee80211 > ...
