Orinoco FW version

[Luis Sánchez]

The basic steps you must follow to recompile the kernel are:

 - download 2.4.18 kernel from www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ 
(you have to download the .tar.gz file)

- extract the kernel. (you probably have a link called linux to the old kernel folder,
you must remove it and create a new one which points to the 2.4.18 kernel folder)

- Recompile the kernel and when you do 
        - make xconfig
 If you want to use the pcmcia-cs package you must disable the
 PCMCIA / CardBus support on General Setup menu and activate
 the Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) option on Network device support
 menu)
 
- Now you can download and install the pcmcia-cs package that you want.
I think that 3.1.33 is good
