Orinoco silver, ISA pcmcia adaptor and Redhat 7.1, problems.

[Dent, Mike]

Hi, I've had a quick look back through the mailing list archives but
could not see anything which is similar to my problem.

I suspect I am at a very early stage in getting these Orinoco cards
working in a linux box.
I've played with the early version 1 and version 2 ISA wavelan cards
under linux with good success in the past.

I've borrowed a pair of the Orinoco Silver cards and the ISA bridges that come
with them.
I'd like to get them working in Linux, Redhat 7.1.

I think I have come unstuck at the first hurdle! The ISA<>PCMCIA card
does not seem to be recognised by the kernel isapnp at boot time?
I tried another ISA network card in just to check and that is recognised
fine by isapnp.

So I took the card out to test it in a Windows 98 PC, just to make sure it
was ok and it is.

So, what am I doing wrong at this early stage? Has anybody written a howto
for these Orinoco cards in ISA adaptors under Linux?

Many thanks,

Mike.
