Hi You are not alone with that problem...I use wireless with my desktop and have similar probs. What I did,I disabled kernel drivers and installed separate pcmcia_cs package,got my orinogo silwer with wavelan pci adapter working...And ofcource edited PCIC=i82365,PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=0". In fact,when installed 9.0 I couldn't get installation through...It stopped at the beginning,where installation started looking pcmcia.I had to take card and adapter away to get installation through and then manually install wireless. Here you can find everything you need for wireless... http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Jarmo
