I am installing gentoo on an old machine without wireless builtin. |

I have a hermes/orinoco pcmcia card that works fine. Indeed the |
4 |
wireless "works fine", but is not right. |

|
6 |
When booting there is a very long delay at the net.eth1 and the system |
7 |
wants the agere_sta_fw.bin firmware. If you wait it out, it eventually |
8 |
proceeds and the wireless works. I assume I should be getting the |
9 |
firmware, but I don't know from where. I did emerge the orinoco-fwutils |
10 |
but that doesn't have firmware or say where to get it. |

Any help would be appreciated. |
