WLAN card compatibility

[mizo]

Could everyone who have added an entry for a WLAN card to /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf and thus managed to make it work, please post the entries here?

This to help other people with their settings and to inform the developers on manfids of different cards. Then all the extra can be added to the next release.

Hi,

I just got my Origo Wireless LAN CF card working, but I didn't add anything to hermes.conf - added the following to /etc/pcmcia/config instead (I realise now that I should perhaps have added it to the other file instead).  My comments are in square brackets here:

card "Origo Wireless LAN CF card" [can be anything, i guess?]
   manfid 0x000b, 0x7100  [output from 'cardctl ident']
   bind 'orinoco_cs'

I rebooted the Zaurus after adding this stuff, plugged in the card and its LED flickered briefly and stayed lit.  I went into System Tools / LAN & WiFi and set up SSID and WEP modes.  After that, all was plain sailing.  

Since I'm a total newbie to pdaXrom and to the Zaurus in general, I was looking for /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf and didn't find it.  I have a bit to learn about wireless systems.
