Orinoco Silver and RH 7.3

Tue Dec 31 04:18:59 EST 2002

I hope this is the right forum for this type of question... If not, I 
apologize in advance...

I have been trying to get an Orinoco Silver card working with a new 
installation of Red Hat 7.3. It used to work under RH6.2 (with downloaded 
pcmcia package and wavelan2_cs driver, if memory serves). I've read all the 
pages I can find about how to get it working and ifconfig and iwconfig all 
seem correct, and I get the right beeps when the card is inserted or pcmcia 
is restarted, but it can't ping any hosts on the LAN. I've included the 
relevant portions of configuration files below. cardctl ident returns the 
correct/expected information. Right now, I don't even know what to try 
next. Oh BTW, it fails the same way if encryption is not used so that is 
apparently not the problem...

Kernel 2.4.18-3
RedHat 7.3
