All the info I can find indicates that this is a Hermes device.
<www.modem-help.com/mfcs.php?mid=119&nid=13369>
Using Ndiswrapper and the XP drivers generates the message "hardware NOT
detected", even though that same driver works fine under XP!
For the moment I've given up on an x86_64 distro - too much unsupported
hardware - and dropped back to my favourite slackware (10).
The orinoco pci driver doesn't recognise the hardware - it loads, but fails to
create a device, either wlan* or eth*.
If I add the pci ids from my card (11c1:ab34) to orinoco_pci.c, it compiles
ok, but seg faults when I try to load it thus:

Not being a programmer, this doesn't mean much to me!
I have managed to get the card partially working using the agere 7.18 drivers
under kernel 2.4.27, but it generated reams of syslog output, and dhcp
wouldn't work. 7.20 failed to compile!
All the info indicates that this device *should* be supported by the orinoco
drivers.
What am I doing wrong?
