fedora core 2 / orinoco pcmcia driver problems
This is a discussion about fedora core 2 / orinoco pcmcia driver problems in the Linux Networking category; I love Fedora Core 2, except for one major problem. It appears the orinoco driver for this pcmcia card is known to hang after heavy use. I have grabbed, compiled and installed the latest driver for the card.
I love Fedora Core 2, except for one major problem. It appears the orinoco driver for this pcmcia card is known to hang after heavy use. I have grabbed, compiled and installed the latest driver for the card. All seems well, but I'm not sure this will fix the problem. Does anyone know if this problem is fixed with orinoco 0.15rc1 drivers ?

the only temporal references I find for the problem you mention are 'August 2002'
and driver v0.12b (December 2002).
BTW, the most recent driver is 0.15rc2 (July 28 2004).
The best answer to your question is the All-Purpose Technical Answer:
It Depends.
use your wlan card, abuse your network bandwidth -- and if it doesn't hang,
then you have your answer! 8)

OP
still hangs under heavy load. I'm starting to think that this may not just be a wireless card driver problem, but perhaps a pcmcia card manager problem. I have to pcmcia cards in use, one is an Intel wireless pro 2011b and the other card is a Xircom IIps.
The hanging occurs with either network interface.
