Then, in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, add a line that looks like this: card "Orinoco Gold" manfid 0x123, 0x123 bind "orinoco_cs" Of course, use the manfid you received from the "cardctl ident" command instead of 0x123, 0x123. Then reboot. I'm sure there's a more "Linux-like" way to make it take effect, but this is the way I know. After that, your card should be detected by the system and given the correct driver.
