Hi Guys, I have the Proxim 8471-WD which is the b/g silver card and I can't seem to get it to recognize. It works fine under WinXP. I have tried Mandrake 9.1 and RedHat 9.0

My hermes.conf looks like this.
device "orinoco_cs"
class "network"
module "hermes', "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"
# Proxim Orinoco 802.11b/g silver
card "Wireless Network PC Card"
manfid 0x0126, 0x0013
bind "orinoco_cs"


I am trying to follow the steps above but when I run

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

I don't get the beep, the system restarts the service and says "Watching 2 sockets"

the wlan pkg compiles and installed with no errors and my card is listed on their list of functioning cards. The orinoco drivers I tried where installed and patched seemingly fine. Can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong. thank you.

hi,

Even I am not able to install my Wireleess card , I have RH 9.0 on my sytem and a orinoco card. I do hear two beeps when I insert the card, Is linux recognizing my card? I even tried to install by going in the network configuration , also when i give the command cardctl ident then it says no product info available. can any one help me.

Thanks
