orinoco silver + pci/pcmcia adapter trouble


wireless card trouble... ( post #1)

okay, i had a netgear wireless card, i tried to get that to work , it didnt, so 2 weeks ago all i was doing was going to best buy buying a card, tryin it for a while, if it didnt work i took it back and got another, well, after trynig about every single card i could buy in a store i finally got fed up, i just ordered an Orinoco Silver 802.11a/b and i bought a pcmcia to pci adapter cuz im using a desktop, i got it all in today and fired it up and all i got was the same error ive been getting


"cannot activate device 'blah blah' on eth0 device does not seem to be present delaying initalization" or something to that extent.

linux is recognizing the presence of the adapter, and giving it a driver.. something like yenta_driver or somethin...

anyway, anyone have any idea what steps i should take to get this thing to work?

im using redhat 9.0
