Hi there,
I have this card working perfectly with 128-bit WEP. I use this
card with a SMC7004VWBR Cable/DSL wireless router. Here is what I did to
get it working. First, I use pcmcia-cs stuff and not kernel pcmcia. So
you need to compile your kernel without PCMCIA. Next you need to emerge:
emerge pcmcia-cs
there seems to be ebuilds for pcmcia-cs-drivers and pcmcia-cs-tools. This
is a way of getting the pcmcia-cs drivers and using kernel pcmcia if I
recall correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong). Since, however you
didn't enable pcmcia in the kernel just emerge pcmcia-cs. Next, add the
following to your /etc/modules.autoload:
i82365
ds
Now do the old,
rc-update add pcmcia default
to get pcmcia services to load at boot time. Finally you need to modify
your /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, here is an example:
case "$ADDRESS" in
# Lucent Wavelan IEEE (+ Orinoco, RoamAbout and ELSA)
# Note : wvlan_cs driver only, and version 1.0.4+ for encryption support
*,*,*,*)
INFO="THE Network"
ESSID="Wireless Feedom Net"
MODE="Managed"
# RATE="auto"
KEY="**************************"
;;
esac
The KEY you use should be the 26 letter-number combination encryption key,
check you router for the info. You can also use "s: password" but I have
had trouble with this. Some hubs don't have a problem, others do but I
haven't had any difficulty if I just put in the actual WEP key (if you are
using 40bit Encryption you will have less digits of course). OK, now you
are ready, just stick you Orinoco Gold in the slot and you should get a
blissful double beep. Enjoy the wireless.
