Hi Sindi, I have downloaded the driver software for W98, now. The 
card obviously worked with W98 on a different laptop. As I do not 
want to work with W98, I am trying to run it in Linux - usually with 
this attitude I end up figuring out how to do it in DOS ;-)

I still have your 2.4.31 kernels, but I could not find the modules 
(orinoco, orinoco_cs and hermes) in your packet. Another issue
would probably be which version of wireless-tools to use.
