I'm new to Linux and don't know how to get my Orinoco Gold card to work. It worked fine with Knoppix. The light on the card flickers briefly but then goes out and there are no beeps. I have a book SAMS Fedora 3 but haven't been able to figure it out. It says, "... troubleshooting problems with PCMCIA cards can be difficult..." I tried $ dmesg and this looks like the relevant section: orinoco 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski @gnu.org>, et al) orinoco_cs 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <pro ski@gnu.org>, et al) divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:0048 eth1: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 8.72 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth1: MAC address 00:02:2D:A9:F3:5D eth1: Station name "HERMES I" eth1: ready eth1: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f SELinux: initialized (dev rpc_pipefs, type rpc_pipefs), uses genfs_contexts i2c /dev entries driver lp: driver loaded but no devices found SELinux: initialized (dev sda2, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev sda4, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=1fc28100) divert: freeing divert_blk for eth1 orinoco 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski @gnu.org>, et al) orinoco_cs 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <pro ski@gnu.org>, et al) divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:0048 eth1: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 8.72 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth1: MAC address 00:02:2D:A9:F3:5D eth1: Station name "HERMES I" eth1: ready eth1: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=1dd807c0) divert: freeing divert_blk for eth1 orinoco 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski @gnu.org>, et al) orinoco_cs 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <pro ski@gnu.org>, et al) divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:0048 eth1: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 8.72 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth1: MAC address 00:02:2D:A9:F3:5D eth1: Station name "HERMES I" eth1: ready eth1: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f orinoco_lock() called with hw_unavailable (dev=1dd80140) divert: freeing divert_blk for eth1 orinoco 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski @gnu.org>, et al) orinoco_cs 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <pro ski@gnu.org>, et al) divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:0048 eth1: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 8.72 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth1: MAC address 00:02:2D:A9:F3:5D eth1: Station name "HERMES I" eth1: ready eth1: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Centrino (which didn't work either but I didn't expect it to since it doesn't work with Knoppix). Any suggestions? Thanks... --- https://www.megalextoria.com/usenet_archive/alt.linux/msg14904.html
