Help with Orinoco card.

[slokana at imap4.asu.edu]

Hi,

       i am an amateur trying to configure the orinoco card on my linux box. 
The ultimate aim is to be bale to put the card in promiscous mode and sniff the 
packets possibly using airsnort. So far i have been able to compile the 2.1.18 
kernel and am using the pcmcia 3.1.33 package. But i am having problems with 
configuring the card. Here is what info i have been able to collect on my 
system so far.

I beleive i do'nt have the configuration right. Could someone please point me 
to some info on the pcmcia/card configuration. Or is this a problem with my 
orinoco_cs driver? Would it be remedied if i use the latest pcmcia 3.1.34 
package?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Sumanth Varma.
