Sorry this took a while, I took a couple of days off work to get my
boat ready for summer. Anyway:
I don't have /usr/share/doc/pmcia-modules* on my machine! However, a
coworker did the same install I did on his identical laptop. This time
we got the orinoco card working by switching to a second console and
doing "modprobe orinoco_cs" (this was the card missing from the driver
list), so the driver was there but not the listing. Since he was able
to install via the pccard we also saw that no "auto eth" line wound up
in /etc/interfaces. So it seems all is well, save for the missing
menu-item. We used the regular bootfloppies (not the bf2.4 ones).
Again, thanks for taking time to help me with this!
