This is good. The cardmgr recognizes the card.
Just this one every time I try booting with the PCMCIA card in: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting up hostname 'yodh' done
Setting up loopback interfaceifup-wireless: command 'iwconfig lo nick yodh' returned
ifup-wireless: Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) : SET failed on device lo ; Operation not supported.
ifup-wireless: command 'iwconfig lo essid DeeSign Networks' returned
ifup-wireless: Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device lo ; Operation not supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something is screwed up in network scripts. You read that I had to modify my ifup-wireless script so it would work? Does the output of ifconfig show your internal ethernet card at eth0? If so, I suggest trying to get the wireless card working manually first, then you can edit the ifup-wireless script. Load the orinoco_cs driver with "modprobe orinoco_cs". It should load a couple of other drivers automatically. Then, try: iwconfig eth1 essid "your network name" mode "your mode" In my case, the mode is "Managed".
Are you trying to use encryption?
Nope.
That simplifies things quite a bit.
Have you flashed the orinoco card with the latest update from agere?
No, do you think I need to ?
Not sure. I updated mine when I first got it after reading that advice in an online article. It may have worked fine without the update. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Right behind you, I see the millions Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net
