I haven't installed anything recently that I can remember, and I don't have another powerbook or machine with a pc card slot to test the card.
So, I bit the bullet and bought a new card last night. I should have it today.
Hopefully it works.....

Before I assume the card died and buy another one, is there any way for
me to test (without a second card) whether or not the slot itself has
died somehow?
The card is a couple of years old, but it is in excellent condition and
I'm not sure why it would just stop working.
Brendan, I'm sure that those who can answer your question will ask this,
but:
1) Which model of PowerBook (Wallstreet, Lombard, Pismo, etc.) do you have? 2) How much RAM in it? 3) MacOS you're running (9.2.2, X.2.6, etc.)? 4) Any new software installed since last time you successfully used the Orinoco (including extensions installed)? 5) Have you tried the card in another PowerBook to see if it works in another?
Those answers will help pinpoint the problem, hopefully.
