OK, well, I got orinoco_cs loaded, but the lights still don't look right on
the card (on all the others I've had going, one light is on all the time,
the other flashes rapidly when in "ad-hoc" mode.

All done, and I managed to coax it not to use the wvlan_cs driver.  lsmod
sayd the orinoco_cs module is indeed loaded.  I then setup the card with
iwconfig to it can see my notebook, but no traffic seems to be passing.
netstumbler doesn't pick up the router, and it is unable to lease an IP
address from the DHCP server I setup.

Any other tricks? :)
