[ltp] wireless problem on X21

[Bill Feiereisen]

I have an X21 with RH7.1 in a dual boot with Win2K. I am unable to get my 
802.11 wireless to work under linux, but other PCMCIA services work (for 
instance an IBM microdrive).  The card is an Orinoco gold. The built-in 
ethernet NIC works fine as eth0. I'd like to configure the PC card as eth1.

lsmod shows:

but there are some messages at boot that I don't understand and are not 
captured in boot.log or from dmesg. the message is something like "incorrect 
IRQ. Module might have incorrect parameters." I'ver never understood IRQ's. 
Does anyone have any ideas?

Could I just skip the whole problem by upgrading to RH7.2?
