Ok, I downloaded the new kernel (bzimasmf.431). I'm not sure if it
works with other stuff such as mice and sound cards as I've not tried
it yet. BL3 booted up and looked in the right place this time. I also
installed the new modules (modules-pcmcia-min-2431.tgz). I also
installed   modules-pcmcia-wireless-431.tgz and modules-smf-431.tgz as
well just to try it. I also modified /etc/pcmcia/config;


device "orinoco_cs"
  class "wireless"
  module "hermes","orinoco","orinoco_cs"

card "Netgear MA401"
  manfid 0x000b, 0x7300
  bind "orinoco_cs"

and

I also placed #'s in front of the device lines for pcnet_cs, REMing
them out (REM=remark, basic prog. language command. Now
I feel old :) !).

The cdrom seems to work much better with no need for me to do a few
extra insmod's. But the good news is that the card might just be
possibly working. I'm missing "wireless start eth0", however after
running /etc/pcmcia/start.

The card seems to be detected and the light comes on; I can even start
to set some of the card's settings, e.g. ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.99;
ifconfig eth0 essid, etc. But x.x (cue drumroll!) the light goes out
on the card after a short time, and the system locks up !

Getting a little further!
