orinoco_cs on linuxppc_2_4/linux-2.4-benh

[John & Trudy Phillips]

I have the Orinoco Silver card working with a 550MHz Titanium Powerbook.
I am using the following:
	kernel : linuxppc  2.4.17-rc1
	modules: radeon                 90560   0
		orinoco_cs              5424   1
		orinoco                36016   0 [orinoco_cs]
		hermes                  6288   0 [orinoco_cs orinoco]
		ds                      8720   1 [orinoco_cs]
		yenta_socket           11088   1
		pcmcia_core            43104   0 [orinoco_cs ds yenta_socket]

	pcmcia/config:  ...
		card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter"
  		  version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE"
  		  bind "orinoco_cs"
                        ...
		device "orinoco_cs"
  		class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"

	pcmcia/config.opts:
		# Ti Powerbook resources
		include port 0x0fff-0x1fff
		include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff
		include port 0x100-0xaff
		# Everything else commented out

	pcmcia/wireless.opts
		*,*,*,*)
		    INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings)"
		    ESSID="xxxxxxxx"
		    MODE="Managed"
		    KEY="xxxxxxx"

Let me know if this is close enough to your setup to help.
