Ben, |

I think you are just missing a couple kernel configuration options. If |
| 16 |
you take a look at the Configure script in the top-level pcmcia-cs source |
| 17 |
directory, you will see that DO_ORINOCO is set based on the following |
| 18 |
conditions (I didn't bother to fully track down the logic, but this should |
| 19 |
get you started): |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1. (most likely) -- CONFIG_NET_RADIO is configured in your kernel's .config |
| 22 |
file. This is the "Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)" option in the "Network |
| 23 |
Device Support" submenu. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
2. [ -r /proc/net/wireless ] |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
3. [ ! -r ${LINUX}/include/linux/wireless.h ] ; then |
| 28 |
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA_RADIO=n |
| 29 |
fi |
| 30 |
(this indirectly turns DO_ORINOCO off) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The first thing above is like the alsa procedure of enabling sound but not |
| 33 |
selecting any drivers. You have to configure the kernel for wireless/radio |
| 34 |
support, and then pcmcia-cs's configure script enables building of the |
| 35 |
orinoco modules. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I hope that clears it up for you. |
