I have a ThinkPad T43 with an Orinoco Classic Silver PCMCIA card in

This works fine under Windows.
It used to work with the orinoco_cs driver under Fedora,
but I don't think it has worked since Fedora-11.
Now (under Fedora-14) a kernel OOPS is caused when the card is inserted,
or if the machine is booted with the card in.
Does it look like this one?

I googled for orinoco_cs, but didn't find any recent posts on
it.
Is this device no longer supported in Linux?
If so, it seems odd that the driver is still in the kernel.
Bugs happen -- it is hard to say what might have changed to trigger
what you are seeing. If the driver stays broken it might get dropped,
but for now let's just submit bug reports and hope someone finds the
time and desire to fix it. :-)
