Thanks Andre, but I am still having problems. Here is the output (for
anyone who is interested, thanks!)
# modprobe -v orinoco_cs
/sbin/insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.21-1.ll.acpi/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hermes.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-1.ll.acpi/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hermes.o

Nothing seems to be missing, but when i do a iwconfig
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
I should be seeing eth1. I have /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.
Even after init 3, and init 5 (restarting X), there still is no eth1.
lsmod shows:
...
orinoco_cs 5460 0 (unused)
orinoco 38352 0 [orinoco_cs]
hermes 7272 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco]
ds 8808 1 [orinoco_cs]
yenta_socket 13600 1
pcmcia_core 57440 0 [orinoco_cs ds yenta_socket]
...
How can I get it "used"?
Also I tried the following:
[11:05:38][~]# service network stop
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
[11:06:08][~]# service pcmcia restart
Shutting down PCMCIA services: cardmgr modulesds: Device or resource busy
yenta_socket: Device or resource busy
pcmcia_core: Device or resource busy
.
Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr.
[11:06:15][~]# service network start
Setting network parameters: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1: [ OK ]
[11:06:24][~]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
And then when I did:
[11:07:46][~]# service --status-all
...
Configured devices:
lo eth0 eth1
Currently active devices:
lo eth0
...
I have even tried to "make install" two versions of the orinoco
driver, 13d, and the very latest 13e. Neither makes a difference.
Thanks for your help. Searching the web on this issue I see that I am not
the only one with this problem. But I can't find any solutions that have
helped me.
