Built the system from this iso fine.... But.... On the boot cd there are drivers for my toshiba wlan -- the ornico drivers. After the install these drivers are not there... Where can these be gotten? They aren't in the kernel config that I can see....
Thanks. |

| The Orinoco drivers can either be compiled into your kernel, or loaded as part of the pcmcia cardservices package (commonly referred to as pcmcia-cs). Please search the forum and mailing lists, as this has been discussed extensively. |

This was the post that I used to get my orinoco card working. Please note that he mentions doing a fresh install and I found that to be unnecessary. It's from this thread.

What I ended up doing, in a nutshell, was a FRESH install. When it came time to configure the kernel options, I configured it without PCMCIA/CardBus support and WITHOUT support for the network card. I then compiled the kernal, etc. Once done, did an emerge pcmcia-cs. Made sure that the /etc/init.d/net was configured right, and that /etc/conf.d/pcmcia looked ok (made the net script use dhcp for eth0).
Then, I rebooted, logged in. There was no network support (as there shouldn't have been).
I then did:
insmod pcmcia_core
insmod i82365
insmod ds
cardmgr -f
And my network card came to life, the net script got an ip address, and all was good.
Chad then told me to add the i82365 and ds entries into /etc/modules.autoload, and do an rc-update add pcmcia default so the pcmcia_core would get loaded, did those, rebooted, and wham, networking up on boot.
Hope this helps everyone a little.

| well, I have tried the no pcmcia support in the kernel and then emerging the pcmcia-cs package. Drivers that I need are there now, but now its unresolved symbols with the r7 kernel... No problems... Too busy to mess with this now. I'll wait til a new release comes out... |
