Good morning,
I have gone through this and had good luck. I decided to switch to a Netgear card as I wanted to use kismet and these cards don't require patched drivers. I am using a HP laptop and what I came up with matched Matt's pretty close, so I just used what he had posted. My card works great and I can now use either the internal or the pcmcia card. There is one item that showed up, the lights on the card don't work. Not a big deal, but I am just wondering why.
No idea about this. Do they work on other Linux systems? If not, may be they need interaction with the windows drivers? But I'm happy that we could help :) Regards, Matt

Hello David
Welcome in the team of the people who have some problems with PCMCIA and Linux 64 bits :-)) !!!! Well, as Matt wrote it, you can find in this mailing list some informations that can help you, [snip]
===========================================
I have been trying to get a second wireless card to work in my hp laptop with a 64 AMD. I have not been successful at all. I have found that I believe that SuSE is mis detecting the orinoco gold card that I am trying to use. When that card is plugged in I get the following. When it is not plugged in these lines are not in the system log.
Apr 18 16:50:55 DsHP cardmgr[6463]: executing: 'modprobe memory_cs 2>&1' Apr 18 16:50:55 DsHP cardmgr[6463]: + FATAL: Module memory_cs not found. Apr 18 16:50:55 DsHP cardmgr[6463]: modprobe exited with status 1 Apr 18 16:50:55 DsHP cardmgr[6463]: module /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.14-default/pcmcia/memory_cs.o not available Apr 18 16:50:55 DsHP cardmgr[6463]: bind 'memory_cs' to socket 0 failed: Invalid argument
I have never had a problem with the orinoco gold card and SuSE. I have used it with 9.1 and 9.2 but only the 32 bit version. I am now using the 64b version. Any ideas?
