sorry, i dont know what exactly causes the crash.
After activating the interface wi0 the system freezes not showing any
messages anymore ...
Interesting was that the Orinoco card was'nt found when i was using my
custom-mini kernel which had all the PC-Card stuff disabled. I thought the
accessability of the mini-PCI slot doesnt depend on any PC-Card drivers ...

thanks for help
