The orinoco stand alone makefile tests whether pcmcia-cs modules are present and disables them if so. however, since the driver is build in a sandbox, it doesn't see the modules and thus fails to disable them: for f in hermes.o orinoco.o orinoco_nortel.o orinoco_pci.o orinoco_plx.o orinoco _tmd.o orinoco_cs.o spectrum_cs.o; do \ if test -e /var/tmp/portage/orinoco-0.15_rc2/image//lib/modules/2.4.27-gento o-r1/pcmcia/$f; then \ install -m 644 -o 0 -g 0 $f /var/tmp/portage/orinoco-0.15_rc2/image//lib /modules/2.4.27-gentoo-r1/pcmcia/$f; \ else \ install -m 644 -o 0 -g 0 $f /var/tmp/portage/orinoco-0.15_rc2/image//lib /modules/2.4.27-gentoo-r1/net/$f; \ fi; \ done the first test should be test -e /lib/modules ... i.e. without the sandbox prefix, maybe you should fix that in postinstall() ? this results in pcmcia-cs and orinoco modules to be around at the same time -> Oops when loading them furthermore, the wrong pcmcia-cs version is used: the 3.2.5-3.2.7 diff does not contain the correct cardutils version (it defines 0x3205 instead of 0x3207) so obviously the correct sources aren't used. this results in the orinoco_cs module complaining about a version mismatch and refusing to load (after resolving above conflict by hand) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
The pcmcia-cs version issue is fixed in net-wireless/orinoco-0.15_rc2-r2 - and a warning about the conflicting modules from pcmcia-cs has been added.
