wireless card

[Robert Dege]

Google found this:

http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Orinoco.html

The site has a few linux on how to get the driver, and a few links on how
to install the driver (No mandrake specific links, but a few Redhat which
should be somewhat similar.

If this doesn't help, a `dmesg | more`  might provide you with more info
about how the kernle detected the device upon boot.  `/sbin/lsmod` will
give you a list of modules that are currently loaded (used to access your
various hardware).
