Newbie having problems with orinoco

[Rakesh Arora]

Hi,
      I am a Linux newbie, so please forgive me for
any dumb questions. I am having problems getting the
Orinoco Silver card to work with Linux 2.4.12. I am
using the PCI Adapter that comes with Orinoco Silver.
I have heard some people had problems while some got
it to work perfectly. I am using the inbuilt kernel
PCMCIA modules. The steps that I have done are:

1. Add hermes.conf to /etc/pcmcia
2. make xconfig (added PCMCIA support)
3. make dep, make bzImage, make modules, make
modules_install, make install.
4. made changes to /etc/pcmcia/config, 
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts, /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia etc.
5. rebooted my computer.

The card was detected but only one beep was heard.
cardctl status/ident gave me the details of the card.
When I do iwconfig etho, I get the details and then
segmentation fault. After a couple of minutes, the
light on the card goes off (but cardctl still gives
info). From /var/log/messages, I found that IRQ 9 was
being shared. How do I get around this? I am attaching
a snipped of the log messages.

I haven't played with Linux before, so I might be
doing something really stupid. Any help that you can
provide will be appreciated. 

Thanks,
rakesh
