| Orinoco cards still have the same cis tuples as the older Lucent badged
| ones. Only the sticker is different. The fact that the card is coming up
| null null though would leave me to beleive that the cis information cannot
| be read properly. I would try using pccardc power to shutdown and
| reactivate the card, and see if you can use dumcis to read the tuples
| properly, and if it still doesnt i would say not based on experience but
| just assumption, first try the card in a windows box and see if the driver
| takes on it. if it doesnt there may be hardware issues. And then next try
| to force the driver on the card with pccardc enabler but there seems to be
| an error in handling the iosize for assigning ports to the card. instead
| of assigning a range of ports, it just assigns one indivbidual port when
| it needs 64. YMMV though. its a simple fix though but I dont have it on
| me. Its in the pccardc code but it didnt work until i forced it to.

I've found that "(null)" ("(null)") is iomem conflicts. Please follow
