Orinoco FW version

[Joseph R. Skoler]

How did I know there'd be issues -- this happens from the consols as well as
ssh'ing in:

[root at localhost linux]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk

  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
