===================

Install with pkg. Please report back here if they
work for you.

After running pkg I had to chmod x.

Unfortunately the test was not successful. Neither of the utilities
is able to detect an interface (apart from lo).

So probably the huge output from cardmgr indicates that something
has gone wrong before. Below I quote the output from dmesg.

Mu linksys WPC11 wireless pcmcia card that also uses orinoco_cs.o failed miserably in one of my Toshiba laptop computers, but worked in the other with kernel 2.4.31. With 2.2.26 it segfaulted.

Try the same card with 2.4.31 kernel and modules, and/or in a different computer.

aironet worked in all my computers with both kernels.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31 contains several kernels (try bzimagla.431 which is a small one for laptops, not sure if it will support wireless) and both packages of modules-la*.tgz (the second contains the pcmcia modules).

Did this card work before it was given to you?
