help with Orinoco + RH 7.3 laptop

[Rakesh Arora]

Hi,

          I am trying to get the orinoco silver card running on my laptop running red hat

 7.3. I had read that the card works with the default kernel (2.4.18-3) and built-in 

pcmcia card services. However when I insert the card, the card does not get an IP 

address. I have created a ifcfg-eth1 file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. I have 

modified the ESSID field in wireless.opts to point to the SSID of my AP (WEP is off, 

so I commented the KEY field). I have downgraded the firmware to 6.06. iwconfig 

eth1 gives me the MAC address of the AP that I am associated with, but after a few 

minutes it shows 00:00:00:00:00:00. 

         dmesg shows that IRQs are being shared. Could that be the problem? If yes, 

how do I resolve it? Also in pcmcia file, PCIC is yenta_socket, should I change it to 

i82.... dmesg's output is below. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rakesh
