Hi,
      I still can't get it to work:( I tried setting
the essid using iwconfig and it won't do anything.
However it does allow me to set the nickname, mode
etc. I also edited my wireless.opts and restarted
pcmcia but that too was of no help either. I am using
the inbuilt pcmcia version 3.1.22. Do I need to
upgrade it to 3.1.29? My wireless.opts file looks like
this:

case "$ADDRESS" in
# Lucent Wavelan IEEE (+ Orinoco, RoamAbout and ELSA)
# Melco/Buffalo Networks WLI-PCM-L11
# Note : wvlan_cs driver only, and version 1.0.4+ for
encryption support
*,*,*,00:02:2D:*)
    INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default
settings)"
    ESSID="1e8146"
    MODE="Managed"
#   KEY="s:e8146"
#   ESSID="Wavelan Network"

When I do iwconfig eth1, it lists my ESSID as "" and
AP as 00:00:00:00:00. Any ideas on how I can get this
to work.

Thanks a lot,
rakesh

 You have an old version of the wireless-tools.  The
segv happens after iwconfig has done its useful work,
so it can be ignored.

Don't use module options for this, instead use
"iwconfig eth1 essid
NAME" or you can set the ESSID in
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts.

The orinoco driver doesn't support the ap operation -
we have noinformation on how to program the card to
associate with a given AP by BSSID.  In most cases
setting the ESSID is sufficient.
