Wireless LAN

As said in the section about PCMCIA, above, I don't have an integrated LAN-adapter. However, Ivan Brunello mailto:ibrunello@dgtworld.itmailed me, telling that his integrated Wireless LAN-adapter uses the orinoco-chipset, and the PCMCIA-interface. Thus, you need the orinoco_cs driver.

I later got a note from J. Waalboer, saying that the builtin ORiNOCO-stuff doesn't work with the default settings of the pcmcia packages. To make it work, you'll want to:

The rest would look as a "normal" ORiNOCO-configuration. Also, he's told me that for a real good wireless performance, you'll want to use a more recent kernel than 2.4.18 (like 2.4.19-pre10 or such); there would be problems with Tx timeouts on 2.4.18.

Note: I couldn't check any of this; if you have problems, don't ask me.
