[PlanetCCRMA] pcmcia workaround...

Wed Jul 2 08:10:03 PDT 2003

I am not running redhat 9, but I am running 2.4.21-1.ll.acpi kernel. I 
erased the /lib/modules/2.4.21-1.ll.acpi/pcmcia directory and still my 
integrated eth1 (wireless) isn't showing up. I did a

[08:06:23][~]# modprobe -v orinoco
/sbin/insmod
