The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Orinoco pcmcia Fedora Core 5 - 2.6.15 install?

Asked by Westez in PCMCIA Laptop Interface, Fedora Linux, Red Hat Linux

Tags: , , ,

I'm trying to install an Orinoco 8740-wd pcmcia adapter on FC5 2.6.15. I think the card is being recognized and the drivers are there, but I don't have the drivers linked to the card or pcmcia isn't installed or loaded or something.  When I installed the o/s I had the laptop attached to a wired network, but I didn't have the pcmcia card installed.

What do I need to do to make this setup work and be specific?

I seem to be missing the pcmcia subsystem.

etc/init.d/pcmcia restart returns
Bash: /etc/init.d/pcmcia: no such file or directory

System-config-network fired off a gui interface labeled network configuration.
Selected add new device but my Orinoco adapter is not listed, I see alot of other adapters, but I don't know how to add one.

lspci –v returns

Subsystem: proxim inc unknown device 0a40

Memory at 32000000 (32-bit, non, prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64k]
