Description Joshua 2003-04-18 13:00:59 UTC

I am using 1.4rc4 livecd (stage1 only) and have an orinco lucent silver card wireless as 
my only means of net access. I cannot make card work. I tried booting first with no 
options, then modprobed the various pcmcia wireless modules. No way to get card 
recognized (in slackware - same kernel, it is an orinoco.o module). I then tried to load 
kernel with dopcmcia option. It then gives beeps, and exits with errors on loading. 
After load, any attempt to remove card yields: i82365.o: infinite loop in interrupt 
handler....some numbers.   It also tries to use the prism driver.  Sorry I have no more 
specificsm but I will get any info needed. The point it, there seems to be a bug in the 
basic pcmcia loading package

please try latest experimental livecd
www.gentoo.org/~livewire has different pcmcia drivers/tools
forwarding to laptop dev also.
