Compilation of oricono_cs v.12b in RH's 2.4.18-5

Make sure you have only one copy orinoco_cs.o, orinoco.o and hermes.o
under /lib/modules/2.4.18-5/pcmcia/

More information about the way you built and installed the driver would be 
useful (i.e. whether you compiled it standalone or as part of the kernel).

glibc and your hardware are irrelevant.  But you should be compiling 
against the kernel headers of the kernel it's going to work with.  I 
guess it's all right, or you would have more unresolved symbols.

You have versioning in the kernel turned on.  Versioning adds the checksum 
to the names.
