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

[Reinaldo Perez]

I need some help here finding/selecting the correct drivers for the 
Proxim Orinoco Gold 8420-WD wireless card, probably very detailed since 
I am fairly new to Fedora Linux.

Environment Info:
I recently installed Fedora with most of the binaries with the main 
exception of GNOME since I like KDE. I also installed the kernel 
sources since I figure I will need it down the road. But let me warn 
you that I usually have problems when I try to compile a kernel since 
most of the times I am not sure what I should or should not configure 
in the config file.

Computer:
IBM Thinkpad T30 (1024x768 LCD), No Crypto chip, No Blue tooth, 1 Gig 
memory, DVD reader, No floppy. Dual boot with WinXP.

Booting to "Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)" initrd is 
initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img, in other words, out of the box!!!!

Most everything seems to work with the following exceptions:
a) Synaptics TouchPad will not accept tapping on surface have to use 
the buttons.
b) Wireless card is not recognized, and does not seem to work

I edited /etc/pcmcia/config and added the following entries:
card "Agere Systems"
   manfid 0x0156, 0x0003
   bind "orinoco_cs"

DMESG hs the following messages:

There is a driver (in source form) from Agere for this card but its 
states it is for Linux 2.4 not 2.6 and because it is from source that 
would mean compiling it and installing the sources for pcmcia also and 
I do not want to make a mess out of Fedora.

Please help, need to be taken by the hand I am very close to a beginner.

Thanks
