: orinoco-12b with pcmcia 3.1.34 and kernel 2.4.18

This means that you have hermes.o and orinoco.o from the kernel (that's
one version), orinoco_cs.o comes from pcmcia-cs (presumably another
version), and then you install orinoco-0.12b compiled against the kernel
on top of that.

Perhaps that's the most perversive configuration.  I could not even 
imagine it :-)

The orinoco driver as distributed by David Gibson is primarily written for 
testing and for integration into the kernel and pcmcia-cs.  I tried to 
reinforce the Makefile for occasional users who want stand-alone 
compilation, but no Makefile can possibly outsmart everybody :-(

Improvements in the documentation and further reinforcement of the
Makefile are long overdue, and will be done time permitting.  Sorry for
inconvenience.

Until then, please do following:

1) Recompile the kernel without PCMCIA and without any Orinoco/Hermes 
support.

2) Remove all your modules and reinstall them by "make modules_install"

3) Copy all *.c and *.h files from the new orinoco driver to pcmcia-cs 
sources, directory "wireless".

4) Recompile and install pcmcia-cs.

Good luck!
