Hi everyone. I'm new to linux so bear with me. I've searched through the forums but haven't had much luck. I just got an Orinoco gold card from ebay, and I'm not sure what to call it, so I'll try to describe it as best I can:
The body of the card has "orinoco" on a purple background and a "wifi" logo and a gold and black strip on the side with the word "gold" in the black field of the strip on the right side of the strip. On the back I've got a lot of serial numbers etc. with "Lucent Technologies" on the top. Windows XP recognizes it and automatically uses a driver from 2001 called "wlluc48" if that helps.
Ok, so when I boot up knoppix 3.4 when it tries to load the Orinoco card I get something like:
cardmgr [92] 'Lucent Technologies'
cardmgr [92] modprobe 'Hermes'
cardmgr [92] modprobe 'Orinoco'
...and a couple other messages (something about eth0 and maybe something else), so that it appeared to recognize the card.
But then at the 'Autoconfigure Devices' stage I get partway through the green bars and spinny stick and then get the error messages:
cardmgr [92] + operation failed
cardmgr [92] start cmd exited with status 1
It then completes the loading. When I try to use Etherial the card doesn't show up as a source, and wlcardconfig says it doesn't see a wireless card.
Here is the output of 'lspci -v', I wasn't sure what exactly was relevant:

I tried to be thorough here, sorry for the length.
Thanks for any help
