First, why have I stopped needing cs and cb_enabler? Second, why is yenta_socket only compiled if I enable CardBus support in the kernel? I'm running an Orinoco card on another machine, and since I don't think it's CardBus (am I wrong?), I didn't enable CB in the kernel. The i82365 driver is the only one compiled, but it seems to work fine on that machine. Should I enable CardBus support and use yenta_socket instead? Third, on the first machine with both cards, neither card works if I use i82365 instead of yenta_socket, why? The Orinoco gets Tx timeouts on every packet, and inserting the 3c595 causes the controller (socket) to time out waiting for reset and it doesn't recognize the 3c595. Despite the confusion of changing systems, I must say that the orinoco driver works much better than wvlan_cs for me, as the two Orinoco cards in IBSS Ad-Hoc mode would get intermittent Tx timeouts with the wvlan_cs driver. It's also nice not to have to rebuild pcmcia-cs when I upgrade my kernel anymore. Keep up the good work!
