Airport card on a powerbook



Hi,

I have a Powerbook G3 (pismo) with an internal airport card which I am
trying to make talk to my other laptop, a Toshiba Tecra 8100 with a
Cisco aironet 450 card. Both laptops are running sid. the other night, I
had the cards on the same channel (6/2.437 GHz) and on the same network.
I fired up wavemon on both, and was getting signal on the 

I upgraded the airport's firmware to 2.0.2 under MacOS9. I was running
2.4.19pre4, and upgraded to 2.4.19-5. I have been manually starting the
airport card until I get the wireless network working. When I start the
card, I get unresolved symbols for the following from airport.o:

hermes_struct_init
orinoco_shutdown
orinoco_reset
orinoco_proc_dev_cleanup
alloc_orinocodev
orinoco_interrupt
hermes_reset
orinoco_proc_dev_init

The modules seem to load after this:

[root@keldon root]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
airport                 3460   0  (autoclean)
orinoco                33312   0  (autoclean) [airport]
hermes                  9552   0  (autoclean) [airport orinoco]

but an iwconfig gives me 

 Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 13
 of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 15.
 Some things may be broken...

How can I get the version 13/version 15 issue synced and get the two
cards talking to each other?

Thanks,
