Here's the critical part... After you do this, does anything show up
with a cat /proc/net/wireless? Bad:
Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets |
Missed | WE
face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc |
beacon | 16
Good:
Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets |
Missed
face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc |
beacon
wlan0: 0000 92. 216. 157. 0 0 0 0
0 0
Actually, your /etc/log/messages, should show something for the
orinico_cs load also, either a wlan0 device (or something) or no
device. If the driver finds a network card it recognizes, and binds to
it, you'll get some device (not normally an eth0 device, though, for a
wireless card.)
See anything in /proc/net/wireless or the log?
