I tried these drivers orinoco-0.15rc4.tar.gz too, but
got the same problem as allways:
eth2: failed to read MAC address!
Maybe my problem is with firmware ? Because i didn't
download any firmware and didn't put anything to
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
I downloaded drivers from subversion and made: make
and got just this msg:
debian:/home/deb/orinoco# make
make -C /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386
M=/home/deb/orinoco KERNELRELEASE=2.6.8-2-386 modules
make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386'
it's not compiling drivers,no errors, don't know why.
Please help me, Thank you.
