Used to be my favorite PCMCIA card because of the external antenna connection. <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/259157">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/259157</a> is related (and many others). My "Orinoco Gold" cards were model wd-8470 and had an atheros chipset. They worked well with the madwifi drivers until they were updated a few years ago. During that period, the "orinoco" drivers were extended to include the WD-8470 and never worked as well as the older madwifi. Recently, I have been using TP-Link USB radios but the v2 of these devices don't work either.Â I pried the broadcom radio out of my laptop and installed an Intel and have been more or less happy ever since. The little Ubiquiti NanoStation Locos work well as does my older Buffalo with DD-WRT. I have a couple of PicoStations on order. My guess is that hal and dbus are working against you. If I were motivated to get the WD-8470 working with Lucid (which I am not) I would look into getting the madwifi drivers.

My old ORINOCO Gold WiFi PC-Cards aren't working anymore. :( Gilles.
