Hi, I sent him that and he managed to get it to work. There should be a
faq or wireless help file outlining this process included somewhere in
the distro. Prism3 and orinoco_cs work well together. I have
never been able to get wlan_ng to work with my Prism3 cards.
#Get your new wireless card working
#Do the following
su
cardctl ident //copy manfid values
edit /etc/pcmcia/misc.conf //use your editor of choice
add card "My new unrecognized card"
manfid: xxxxx, xxxxx
bind orinoco_cs
save misc.conf
service pcmcia restart
drakconnect

# Good Luck
