[ale] Netgear MA401 wireless card - which driver?

[Joseph A. Knapka]

Hi folks,

I've got a Netgear MA401 wireless card, which has worked
flawlessly in my laptop using the wvlan_cs driver for
months. Reinstalled Slackware, and now cardmgr wants to
bind the orinoco_cs driver to this card, which doesn't
work for some reason. (The card's "link" light flashes,
which appears to mean it can't talk to the AP.) I tried
re-binding the card to the wvlan_cs driver in
/etc/pcmcia/config, but the results are even worse -
sometimes the machine locks up solid, other times
cardmgr says "Initialization failed!"

So... anyone using this card under Slack 8? If so,
how'd you get it to work?

Thanks,

-- Joe
