Hello All,
	I am having a problem with my Orinoco Gold Wireless Card under YDL 4.0 
on a PowerBook G3 (Firewire 
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43126).  This card had 
worked on my wireless network under YDL 3.0.  I have upgraded to the 
2.6.9-1.ydl.8 kernel.  It did not work with the 2.6.8-1.ydl.7 kernel 
either.  When I perform an /etc/init.d/pcmcia start the lights on the 
wireless card do not come on and I receive the following output in 
/var/log/messages:

Jan 24 21:22:49 linux cardmgr[3890]: watching 1 socket

found.

Jan 24 21:22:49 linux cardmgr[3891]: bind 'memory_cs' to socket 0 
failed: Invalid argument

The pcmcia directory does not exist inside of 
/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.ydl.8 (or inside of 2.6.8-1.ydl.7 for that 
matter).  I cannot find the memory_cs.o file anywhere on my system.

Here is the output from lsmod:

Anyone have any ideas how I can fix my broken wireless?
Thanks for the help!
