Hi-

I'm trying to get a Lucent Orinoco Gold 802.11
PCMCIA card to work with my ThinkPad T21 running
RH 9.

I have a Linksys Etherfast WAP and used to have
this same hardware config running with RH 7.3
I know that the hardware is working because I
can boot into win2k and everything works.

I don't know much about configuring PCMCIA, but
here is the output of a few things that I know
to check.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note that I brought up my network via eth0 in 
order to write this email.


[root at localhost root]# cardctl ident
