But when I inserted the Orinoco card, the system hung completely. I had to press the power button.

The Orinoco card works fine on a IBM Thinkpad A22m with LFS 5.1 (kernel 2.4.26).

I suspected from orinoco_cs module (I didn't build it in the kernel by pcmcia-cs seems to like it as module). I upgrade to 2.6.13 kernel and I could configure the card one time. I could bring it up and down two o three times without problem and I could ping to the access point. After that, I reboot the laptop and the hangs occurs again and again.

I answer myself in the hope this helps someone sometime.

Return to 2.6.8.1 kernel as LFS 6.0 book says.

Configure the kernel with
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_YENTA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
# CONFIG_PD6729 is not set
# CONFIG_I82092 is not set
# CONFIG_I82365 is not set
# CONFIG_TCIC is not set
CONFIG_PCMCIA_PROBE=y

CONFIG_HERMES=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_HERMES=m

In /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:
PCIC=yenta_socket

And all works fine. Lines "CONFIG_PCMCIA_HERMES=m" ( for orinoco_cs module) and "PCIC=yenta_socket" were crucial.

Un saludo.
