Orinoco wireless PCMCIA 2.6 kernel

[gswoods]

I am trying out the 2.6 kernel. I managed to get USB to work from advice in previous
postings (manually loading the modules), but I can't get my wireless Orinoco card to work.
PCMCIA is up and running and yenta_socket is loaded, but when I plug the card in, no
lights come on. /var/log/messages indicates that cardmgr thinks it's a memory card, and
it tries to load the relevant modules for that which of course fails. This same routine happens
whether or not I first "modprobe orinoco_cs". It happened both when I tried compling 2.6.0 from source, and when I installed the kernel-2.6.1-1.131 RPM.

I seem to remember something about PCMCIA thinking the card is a memory card from way way back, but I haven't seen this in ages so I don't know what to do. Anybody got an Orinoco card working under Fedora Core 1 and kernel 2.6?

The main reason I really want 2.6 is so that my ACPI laptop will finally suspend. So far,
*that* seems to work, so if I could just get the wireless card working I'd be home free.
(The built-in Ethernet works fine so networking is properly configured).

Agere (the usual Orinoco manufacturer) makes wireless drivers themselves, for Linux. I'm not sure if they'll work in 2.6 (they were made for 2.4), but you can compile them from source and try:

I'm having the same problem. I tried the Agere site and got the source code but I haven't tried it out yet. I am currently playing around with more downloads from

http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net

Hopefully between the two sites I can get this to work... if so, I'll be sure to post how I did it.
