Sorry. Not trying to be unresponsive. I have a lot of distractions (I'm watching the AFC game) and I'm trying to poke around and solve things myself. I pulled the card: it is a D-Link DWL-520 Rev B1 The seemingly pertinent line from lspci is (retyped) 00:06.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01) HTH > There are several modules for Prism chipsets depending on which variant you have. The original orinoco driver was for PCMCIA (laptop) wireless cards which have a Prism 2 chipset. After awhile, some manufactures adapted the PCMCIA card onto a PCI card that fit in a desktop > motherboard. Some of those cards also use the orinoco driver. However, a follow on variant stripped off the PCMCIA stuff and went with a straight PCI bus connection. The chipset is a Prism 2.5/3 and uses the > orinoco-pci module.
