Orinoco Silver/Fujitsu E340 problem

[Milos Zefran]

Hi,

  I can not get Orinoco Silver card to work on my laptop. I am running RedHat 
7.1. I have tried kernel and stand-alone PCMCIA drivers, and several kernels 
(2.4.9, Redhat packaged 2.4.9-6, 2.4.13) and the result is always the same: 
either the driver fails to load properly, or the machine crashes. Here is what 
I get in /var/log/messages if the machine doesn't crash:

Oct 24 22:55:37 ml cardmgr[605]: initializing socket 1

Any suggestion would be welcome.

Thanks,
