Ok I thought this should be easy.  I looked in /etc/pcmcia/conf and found the card I bought.  It loads orinoco_cs on boot but then fails to configure eth0.  Are there entries in wireless.opt I need to update or add?
Are there other config files I need to update?

Thanks

What happens when you run wlcardconfig from the menu ?
Could it be listed as wlan0, and not eth0 ?

Hi
It tells me that no wireless card is found.  Yet cardctl sees it fine and lsmod shows the orinoco module loaded.

Does iwconfig show the card?
Does ifconfig show the card as having an IP address ?
Are you running with DHCP serving your network ?

iwconfig and ifconfig don't see it.  After a little more looking around dmesg shows an error.  It looks like the module is failing to initialize the firmware.

eth0: failed to initialize firmware (err=-19)

Maybe the card has an old firmware version that doesn't operate with this module.
