trouble with Orinoco PCMCIA -> PCI bridge & Linux

[Ben Greear]

Ok, I figured out at least part of the problem:

I had to edit the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file to make PCMCIA=yes
and PCIC=i82365

I would have thought RedHat's kudzu would do those things
for me, but for whatever reason, I had to do it by hand...

Now, the NIC appears...but I'm still working on getting
it to talk to my laptop....
