I've decided to update the kernel on my laptop (Lombard 400),
currently it's running 2.4.11-pre4-ben0, which seems to work fine,
except I can't get usbmidi working with it.
usbmidi works (afaict) with the current 2.4.18-pre4(-ben0)? trees from
either linuxppc_2_4 or Ben's tree. However, both of them seem to
break my wireless card. The link to the base (an airport) appears to
be good, however no packets are transmitted/received over the link:
with the newer kernels:
iwconfig:

Anyone else have this working with current kernels?

I have the Orinoco Silver card working with a 550MHz Titanium Powerbook.
I am using the following:
kernel : linuxppc 2.4.17-rc1
modules: radeon 90560 0
orinoco_cs 5424 1
orinoco 36016 0 [orinoco_cs]
hermes 6288 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco]
ds 8720 1 [orinoco_cs]
yenta_socket 11088 1
pcmcia_core 43104 0 [orinoco_cs ds yenta_socket]
pcmcia/config: ...
card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter"
version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE"
bind "orinoco_cs"
...
device "orinoco_cs"
class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"
pcmcia/config.opts:
# Ti Powerbook resources
include port 0x0fff-0x1fff
include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff
include port 0x100-0xaff
# Everything else commented out
pcmcia/wireless.opts
*,*,*,*)

Let me know if this is close enough to your setup to help.
