    Hi,

    I'm new to the list and Linux. In fact I have only installed Mandrake
    8.1 on an older computer. The computer has MELCO's WLI-PCM-L11 and
    WLI-PCI-OP installed. The access point is Orinoco RG-1000. Everything
    works fine except for the wireless card. In fact, Mandrake could detect
    the card and loads driver wvlan_cs for it. However, networking doesn't
    work. When I run dhcpcd, it spills out hte message:
     
        wvlan_cs: eth0 timed out! Resetting card

    iwconfig showed that the card could detect the AP, although only at 2Mbps.

    I tried using the orinoco_cs driver instead, but with this driver I
    couldn't even set the essid and it couldn't detect the AP.

    I read some archived message on this list and found out that it could be
    the problem of WLI-PCI-OP. Is that true? Anyone has better luck with
    this card and bridge?

    The kernel is a Mandrake-modified 2.4.8-34mdk.

    Thank you very much!

    Cindy
