Hello!

First of all... You have to excuse my english.


My problem is that i can't get my wireless pcmcia network card to work in Fedora Core 3.
I've read a lot of different articles on internet and tried a lot of things.
I've tried to turn of ACPI in the grub config file
I've tried to manually load the orninoco, orinoco_cs and hermes modules with modprobe.

If I try to restart the pcmcia serviec i get "Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[5650]: open_sock(socket 2) failed: Bad file descriptor"

Hardware facts.
Computer: Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E-6540
Linux Kernel: 2.6.9-1.667
OS: Fedora Core 3
Wireless Card: Proxim Orinoco GOLD 8480-WD

ANY IDEA??

Daniel, those modules you have there are for the older Lucent/Agere Orinoco cards (I am using one right now). These cards were only 802.11b (I think) and have great support in linux. The newer orinoco cards require more work and should not be confused with the older ones.

I found this driver site, it looks like it maybe what you require:
