Hi listers,
I've just aquired a Lucent/Orinoco WaveLAN Silver 802.11 PCMCIA card for my
ThinkPad / Mdk 7.2
I've RTFMs and the best guidance I've found is that the card is "supported"
by Mdk 7.1.
There is a separate source package from Orinoco for Linux use, which
requires a kernel recompilation, however I'm somewhat unclear if that is
likely to be necessary with the Mandrake distro.
man wvlan_cs is only marginally helpful for a "what's needed" question.
FWIW, the 7.2 installer identifies the card but spazzes out as "no network
device is found". Not much help.
Any advice is much appreciated before I slice-and-dice my primary working
system...
Best,
