This is a long message, attempting to document the steps I took to get my Orinoco wireless cards to work in my laptop and in my LEAF/Bering box.
Hey, funny thing, I just got 1.0 stable running my Orinoco gold, and it cardmgr choked if I only had the orinoco*.o modules in /lib/modules/pcmcia/ It complained in syslog that it wanted wavlan2_cs.o!! So I added that to /lib/modules/pcmcia and svi restarted pcmcia and I got 2 beeps, iwconfig, everything. Cool. I'm using 2.4.20 btw. Tricky.

Yes those are the recommened mods in the Bering users guide.
For all I know, waving a dead chicken over both cards...
Try waving live turkeys. It's a helluva lot more, well, everything... leaner too
Things yet to figure out:
* why does LEAF/Bering think that I ejected the card if it hasn't been used for a while?
Dunno. Try the 2.4.20/latest.
* why doesn't LEAF/Bering hand out DHCP addresses on the wireless segment?
(I have a subnet declaration for 192.168.1.0/24 in /etc/dhcpd.conf, and I modified /etc/init.d/dhcpd to include both eth1 and eth2)
Don't know dhcp with repect to wireless, sorry. Start a new thread, perhaps.
* why does my wireless card fail to initialize unless my 3Com 3c575 card is inserted first? Is this something to do with /etc/network/interfaces?
Don't know pc-card hardware issues much at all.
good luck scott,
matt
