I have spent several hours reading the forum and most of the faqs and I can't seem to figure this one out. I have narrowed it down to my PCMCIA wireless Orinoco 802.11b card. If I boot "knoppix nopcmcia" everything is fine but, of course, no network connectivity. If I remove the "nopcmcia" I get the following:

**** Begin output ****

PCMCIA starting cardmgr
cardmgr[58] version 3.2.2
... modprobe hermes
... modprobe orinoco
... modprobe orinoco_cs
executing '.network start eth0'
...
cardmgr[58]: + Operation failed
cardmgr[58]: start cmd exited with status 1

**** End output ****

At this point the system hangs.

Any pointers as to how to get past this issue?
Thanks in advance.
