Ok, I have the agere systems Orinoco card. I've compiled and installed the beta drivers on a Dell Inspiron 8100 running Gentoo. When I insert it, it completely hard locks my machine. I found something on another board that in my /etc/pcmcia/config.opts I should change my port from 0x100-0x4ff to 0x300-0x4ff and exclude 0x100-0x2ff. This keeps my machine from locking, however, I then get the following error when it's trying to load the driver:

Anyone have any ideas? I know this is pretty obscure, but I'm hoping for some help.
Thanks.
