Brock,

We have been using the Orinoco 8.10 firmware with RH7.2, as well as Bering
Beta4 and RC2 without any problems related to the firmware (that we know
of).

We do not use power management features, so I can't offer suggestions in
that regard, but I am curious why you would want it.  In our case we
specifically disabled power management features in the BIOS.

As for firmware releases, you can find the older releases at
ftp://ftp.wavelan.com/pub/software/ORiNOCO/PC_Card/Firmware/.

I usually watch www.orinocowireless.com for new releases.

I have not tried a downgrade, but the way the firmware upgrade utility
normally works, I would be surprised if this was a problem.  In case you
haven't tried this yourself... firmware upgrades must be done using a
Windows driver and OS.

BTW, we have had a few hiccups with wireless transmissions using RC2 that
seem to go away when using Beta4.  Have you seen any similar strange
behaviours?  We suspect antenna alignment issues may be at least partly to
blame (this is a 3km outdoor point-to-point link) so we are looking into
that at the moment.

Hope this helps...

Henry
