To be clear, I built mine entirely from .lrps available above,

Ahh, yes, when I rename that file, and svi restart pcmcia,
then it loads with orinoco_cs, rather than wavelan2_cs.
Now I'll have to get the laptop to test.

Hey, read down your post included at the bottom, and tell
me why it finds your card as an Intersil? It finds mine
as a Lucent/Agere.
When I boot my w/rc3 and the pcmcia_orinoco.lrp
that I use, called pcmcia.lrp, version 3.1.33, I see
the following in my syslog:

Matt,
I found out what the problem was. It was caused by
memory conflict. I modified the config.opts and did a
few includes/excludes io ports and memory. It fixed
the problem right away. I couldn't locate any hardware
infomation from Lucent/Agere and I just did by trials
and errors and wathed

Hi again Newton,
I just got my Bering-1.0 up and running great w/kernel 2.4.20

the system out of parts from /devel/jnilo/bering/latest/

Nice spotting that. Thank God for useful output
to the syslog and dmesg, huh?
BTW, do you know if I can use the same interface to do
both ad-hoc and managed mode concurrently ?
Never
Matt,
Thank you for your help.

Also, you haven't pasted in the wireless config

IIRC there is an issue with the latest firmware level and the orinoco

Ok, but as I mentioned, my Orinico Gold works
in an ISA PC-Card adapter w/Bering rc3. I've
never had any problems with it.

I brought up RC3 Bering-orinoco again.
