[-- Attachment #1 --] I am trying to setup an Lucent Technologies/Orinoco WaveLAN Wireless IEEE 802.11b card. I saw in the kernel config file that there was support for this type of card and I had hoped that it would detect the card on install and I would only have to do some small amount configuration. I have since discovered that it is not that simple. I have found the "pccard.conf" and "rc.pccard" files. I added the startup options into my rc.conf and on boot up it attempts to start pccardd, but say's card is not configured. oh, and I am using a ISA PMCIA socket adapter card into which the WaveLAN card plugs into, not a Laptop. I would appreciate any insight or documentation anyone may have on setting up such a device. Thanks David [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2462.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to setup an Lucent Technologies/Orinoco WaveLAN Wireless <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>IEEE 802.11b card.
