Hi folks,

I'm pretty new to Gentoo. I'm having some problems getting my Orinoco Gold card to work with the 2.6 kernel.

In fact, I can't get it to work at all :)

I have emerged the pcmcia_cs utils and also emerge wireless_tools to no avail.

Here's some output for you:

Code:

iwconfig:
eth0      no wireless extensions.
lo        no wireless extensions.


So that doesn't appear to even list my PCMCIA Orinoco card at all.

Code:

cardctl status:
Socket 0:
  no card
Socket 1:
  5V 16-bit PC Card
  function 0: [ready]

cardctl ident:
Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version 01.01", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)




So I'm a bit at a loss!

I don't seem to be able to "fire-up" the card so to speak; that is the lights on the card are not lit-up so I presume the card has not been initialised!

Thanks in advance for your help.[/list]
