Do you use the in-kernel orinoco driver? I've had similar
problems with that one. The more recent orinoco-0.13beta1
from http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd works for me!
I've recently installed the orinoco gold card and it's working
very well. Except it keeps dropping down to 2MB even when 5'
away. I don't know how this can be managed from the drivers or
what can be 'tweaked'.
What I'm having trouble with right now is getting this to install.
I've downloaded the 0.13beta1 and the kernel-source-2.4.18 deb
package, but I'm still unable to compile the driver
bash-2.05a$ cd orinoco-0.13beta1/
bash-2.05a$ make
