I'm trying to setup my Orinoco Gold card in Red Hat 7.3. I edited /etc/pcmcia/config for my card, and it seems to load the drivers properly when I insert the card.

Dec 21 11:46:03 thinkpad cardmgr[737]: initializing socket 0
Dec 21 11:46:03 thinkpad cardmgr[737]: socket 0: Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter
Dec 21 11:46:03 thinkpad cardmgr[737]: executing: './network start eth1'
Dec 21 11:46:03 thinkpad cardmgr[737]: + sh: ./network: No such file or directory
Dec 21 11:46:03 thinkpad cardmgr[737]: start cmd exited with status 127

I don't understand why it can't find the 'network' script. It exists in /etc/pcmcia/. Am I missing something obvious here?

Make sure the network script is executable.
Check the first line of the network script, if may have #!/path/to/something, make sure that's the correct path.

I reinstalled pcmcia_cs, and I'm not getting errors anymore. Perhaps I messed up one of the package's config files or something. Now I just need to figure out how to configure this thing :)

With Red Hat 8.0, it will configure itself on installation :) All you have to do then is run redhat-config-network and setup the IP/WEP/etc. for the card. Very simple :)

I don't trust Red Hat's X.0 releases.
