As an alternative you can use the hostap-drivers. IIRC there should be an orinoco module in the bf24 kernel; use "modconf" and read the documentation for pcmcia-cs. Maybe update to a newer 2.4.x kernel, e.g. with apt-get, with at least revision 0.13e of the driver. 0.13e was the first almost flawlessly working driver version for me...

Debian with a Netgear 802.11b card
Hello, Forgive the newbie nature of my post, but I am new to Linux. I am trying to get Debian woody with the bf24 kernel to work with my Netgear MA401 PCMCIA card. I sucessfully installed it on my laptop, which is a Gateway Solo Pro 9300, which has a PIII 650, 288 MB of memory, and a 6 GB drive. Where could I find the proper driver for my card and how do I get it installed in Debian? Thanks! Ariel Vitali Dallas, TX __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
