A followup & solution. It seems that the orinoco v0.09b drivers aren't very good.
I am now running the 0.13beta1 drivers and they're no longer spitting up the various errors and timeouts I was having before. Here's how I did it: 0. Original BERING RC3 is using the pcmcia_orinoco.lrp package as referenced by JN's pages. 1. Used Brad Fritz' scripts (slightly hacked) to download the 2.4.18 kernel and patches http://fritzfam.com/brad/leaftmp/ 2. Downloaded the pcmcia-cs 3.1.33 source from http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ 3. Downloaded the latest orinoco drivers from http://www.ozlabs.com/people/dgibson/dldwd/ 4. Extracted pcmcia-cs 5. Copied the orinoco source into the wireless directory inside the pcmcia-cs tree 6. ./Confiugre (making sure the kernel source pointed to the downloaded 2.4.18 kernel source above) 7. Make 8. Replace all of the modules inside /lib/modules/pcmcia with the recently compiled modules 9. Stopped and started the pcmcia service (/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart) and made sure things came up properly (dmesg) 10. Added the newly replaced modules to /var/lib/lrpkg/pcmcia.local file, so I could make a local backup (I use a CD-based boot, with configuration on floppy) 11. Reboot for good luck to make sure everything was fine. Thanks again to Brad Fritz for his detailed respons and assistance. Cheers, Richard. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
