You mean you did it without using the fake CIS?

What is on that line?  Have you tried to fix it?  Perhaps it was the "cis"
command.

I see.  Create orinoco.dat as I described and put it to /etc/pcmcia/cis.

Most drivers, including orinoco_cs, need valid CIS.  You don't have it.

Try Google.  Actually, I don't think you have a PCI bus at all.

That actually may be the real reason why you cannot read the CIS.  You
should probably discuss it with people familiar with your board.  Most
important for you is "memory" - it's used to read the CIS.

I believe your only choice is to run it on another machine.
