I'm now trying to configure an Orinoco Silver wireless pcmcia card for my laptop and am having a few issues. I downloaded the linux drivers from the orinoco site and built them per the README, but am having trouble getting the module loaded and therefore getting the card recognized and working.
If you have a 2.4 Kernel you may get better results using the orinoco_cs driver from the pcmcia_cs packages.. See http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net for more details and the pcmcia howto or if you have an earlier kernel try the wvlan_cs driver, again in the pcmcia package. You'll probably want the wireless tools packages see http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wireless.html
