Hey, I was trying to install airsnort, so I got the orinoco 0-13e drivers and the patch file, applied the patch and recompiled and did a make install, and everything went fine (I thought).
I restarted and now there is no eth1 device.
I can run cardctl ident and get something like this:
prod info: "toshiba", "wireless lan card", "version 01.01", ""

when I try iwconfig eth1, it says eth1 no such device. when I do a service network restart, it says bringing up interface eth1: [OK]

alias eth1 orinoco
to the /etc/modules.conf
The right module is listed in thta file, and there is no eth1 anywhere in /proc/net/dev
ifconfig -a only has eth0 and lo
