My Orinoco Gold card works fine with both drivers, though better with 
orinoco_cs.  What card and firmware do you have?

According to the documentation of the Oricoco Linux site that I read a few 
months ago, wvlan is the older driver that is being phased out in favor of the 
orinoco_cs.

Comment 2 Olaf Schnapauff 2002-04-06 10:46:22 UTC

Hi,
to my surprise indeed setting the ESSID on the card with orinoco_cs loaded now
works -
I am about 2 days further in making this laptop work with the beta though. I
cannot reproduce my
own problem anymore, so I consider this closed and will reopen if for some
reason that problem
resurfaces.
