Allon,

This worked for me. I edited my /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file to look like 
this:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=do_scan=0
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=-f


Saved the changes, rebooted, ran Internet Configuration Wizard and 
everything was good. I'm using the Orinoco Silver on a PowerBook Aluminum 
15" but I'm sure this part of the configuration would be the same for your 
card. I'm certainly no expert at this so if anyone else knows better maybe 
you could shed a little light on this subject.
