Dell Inspiron 5000
Mandrake 10.0
Lucent Orinoco Silver PCMCIA card (made by Agere according to FCC ID)
Everything worked great wih Mandrake 9.2
After upgrading to 10.0 and the 2.6 kernel, the wireless no longer works.
This happens in /var/log/messages

I've confirmed that the card still works in knoppix. I tried the mandrake
module, then I patched it with orinoco-0.13e-rfmon-dragorn3.diff available at
http://www.kismetwireless.net/download.shtml. Neither works. There are two
wireless APs well within range of the laptop. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael
