I don't see any problems with orinoco_pci in Linux 2.6.20. It looks more like a hardware problem or some very old firmware. Just to exclude possible problems with the driver that I cannot reproduce, please try hostap_pci. It supports all devices supported by orinoco_pci. You may want to send further replies to orinoco-devel@lists.sourceforge.net where it would be seen by those actually using the driver. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
