Well, after the discussions about the 2.4.16 kernel build problems with the orinoco_cs.o driver, I decided to try the 2.4.17 kernel. It has some problems, so I am reverting back to 2.4.16. Here are the problems that I encountered:
Sound card es1986 module not found, so no more sound.
Unplugging an a hot ethernet PCMCIA card results in NFS mounts taken down after the card has been pulled, which fail because there is no contact with the NFS server. The entire PCMCIA system hangs when this happens, forcing me to shut the system down with the power switch. I hate that.
The orinoco_cs.o driver loads OK, but I can't ever seem to get a connection. The wvlan driver always worked quickly.
So for now, at any rate, I am ditching the 2.4.17 kernel in favor of the known devils of 2.4.16.

what version of gcc are you using to compile it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPILING the kernel: - Make sure you have gcc-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2) available. gcc 2.95.2 may also work but is not as safe, and *gcc 2.7.2.3 is no longer supported*. Also remember to upgrade your binutils package (for as/ld/nm and company) if necessary. For more information, refer to ./Documentation/Changes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- that is copy and pasted out of the kernel version 2.4.17 README if you are using an up to date version of gcc. you might have done what I did. I compiled support for my sound card into the 2.4.17 kernel, but before I switched to 2.4.17 I had the stock 2.4.10 and had alsa installed to configuer and load the module for my sound card at boot up. When I compiled supprt for my sound card into the 2.4.17 kernel, i no longer needed alsa or to load a module at boot time. And when I installed the 2.4.17 kernel and booted it up, I would get the error that it was trying to find the module for my sound card. Again I didnt need it, my sound would still work. But alsa didnt know this and I hadn't removed it, so it was still looking for the module at boot time maby that can some how relate to you good luck with it
