Does anyone have a lucent orinoco card (I have a gold card) in a pcmcia-to-pci adaptor that actually works in linux/Mandrake?
The orinoco cards are supposed to be among the best supported of the 802.11b cards available yet I have never managed to get it working. I have Mandrake 8.2 installed on a desktop system and a pcmcia-to-pci adaptor. When I load the wvlan_cs driver, my messages log produces: Aug 2 14:58:32 localhost kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services Kernel Version Aug 2 14:58:32 localhost kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Aug 2 14:58:32 localhost kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:06.0.

It is NEVER available. The card in the pcmcia-to-pci adaptor is simply unusable. I have no idea how to proceed here. I rebuilt the kernel with all the appropriate wireless lan support and drivers that even remotely appeared to be useful, yet I am dead in the water here. Anyone have any ideas or a way around this? I have disabled my mobos parallel port because I don't use it - I had hoped to free up an IRQ in so doing (IRQ7) and I even commented out the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts line that excludes IRQ7 because of the parallel port so I would, presumably, have IRQ7 available for use. Nope. Any aid would be greatly appreciated. praedor
