I've just installed DSL on my old Compaq Concerto laptop (486-33 w/20mb RAM) with pcmcia slots. When I put my Senao wifi card in there, cardctl ident sees it correctly, but DSL always loads the orinoco_cs driver -- which it doesn't use, it's a prism2.5 chip. In my Ipaq, running familar, it always loads the hostap_cs driver, which I prefer. Or I could use the linux-wlan-ng driver, prism2_cs. With DSL, however, even after I rmmod the orinoco drivers, and modprobe the hostap_cs driver (or the prism2_cs, I've tried both over and over), when I do a ifup wlan0, it says there's no card. If I try netcardconfig, it also says there is "no supported card".
I've even gone so far as editing the /etc/pcmcia/config and config-2.4 to add this card in there -- and also to take the orinoco_cs binding away from the INTERSIL card identity in those files. Doesn't seem to matter.
So what do I have to do? And please, I need something from the command line because I don't have X working yet either, Knoppix can't seem to figure out the old Compaq video -- it needs a cpq_avga driver which I haven't found yet.
