How can I do that?

If I'm reading OLDCARD correctly, it references GENERIC; so if you're
still using a GENERIC kernel, you can:

        #unless you're the only user on a standalone pc, boot
into single user
        #login as root
        cd /usr/src
        make clean
        make buildkernel KERNCONF=OLDCARD
        make installkernel KERNCONF=OLDCARD
        shutdown -r now



I am running an orinoco silver on a hp omnibook 800ct Durning install, when pccard is enabled choose the default address range, then select irq 3 and the card should be recognized. Mind you this is on 4.9-Release.

Works very nicely for me.

Thanks for help! It seems to be working in 4.9
