Re: pcmcia orinoco in a desktop, problems

["Mark Lanett" <mlanett@parrotchat.net>]

Thanks all. Using yenta_socket made things work.
There was a little problem with cardmgr looking for the orinoco drivers in
/lib/modules/xxx/pcmcia instead of
/lib/modules/xxx/kernel/drivers/net/wireless; this may be related to the
problem G. Edwards mentioned. Creating soft links in pcmcia to
../kernel/drivers/wireless/{hermed,orinoco,orinoco_cs}.o worked.

Now I have routing issues but that's solvable.
