Need help with PCMCIA Wireless card Proxim Orinoco Gold 8420-WD

[Reinaldo Perez]

You hit it on the head, where is the wlang site???? The real driver I 
think is called wlang49_cs. If there is a project I would like to check 
it out.

It its not fun to have a laptop and not being able to use it 
wirelessly!!!!!!

Please write soon
