It doesn't work with Orinocco cards. You need to get one of the prism2 based cards, such as a Netgear MA401, or the Linksys, US Robotics, SMC... Look at /etc/defauls/pccard.conf for 'config auto "wi" ? 0x10000' lines. The 0x1000 flags says that that card is a prism2. James Satterfield wrote: > Larry, > Thanks for the heads up.
