hey everybody,

i tried to get my orinoco gold (pcmcia) working on my toshiba m40-129 laptop - but no success.
it load the right modules (orinoco, orinoco_cs and hermes) but the driver fails everytime (tried one with firmware 7.54 and one with 8.74).
i use kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 and the latest orinoco patches from http://grml.org/kernel
