Hi Peter/Jon.
Well the I have got the PCI wireless card working somewhat using the 2.4.19
kernel + orinoco driver (thanks Peter). Unfortunately if I do any heavy work
on the wireless client (say running Mozilla), the node card seems to go from
"working" to errors (according to ifconfig). See more detail below.
I am unable to restart network as the card replies to the system that it is
BUSY, so I have to reboot the client system. Once rebooted, everything is OK
until I reach some (unknown) i/o throughput limit.
Any suggestions on getting heavy traffic to work ?
Much thanks. Grahame.

PS: I have yet to tackle the Wireless PCMCIA card.

If I start a heavy app (Mozilla) I get the following errors in the syslog
kernel: eth0 Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP
this corresponds to the Tx errors in "ifconfig" climbing dramatically.
Also I note that "top" shows the process "ksoftirqd" using >83%
and if I try to restart the network I get the message that
eth0: SIOCSIFFLAGS: device or resource busy.
So I suspect its in a deadlock of some type.
