The Orinoco PCI adaptors don't work because they are PCI-CardBus bridges and have interrupt routing issues. (Warner said today that someone waved money at him to fix that so it should happen.) On the other hand, there are other PCI adaptors for other cards that work with wi that use an adaptor that presents a PCI bus interface to a PCCard. I would expect the MiniPCI cards will do something like that since it would be pretty stupid to do it the other way given the rather minimal available realestate on a MiniPCI card. It's probably just a matter of adding the right entry to the wi_pci_probe function in if_wi.c. PCI support for this was one of the first things merged after the 4.3 code freeze was lifted. > Does it work in -current? The bridges still don't work in current either. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
