Gentoo install w/ orinoco 8410

I've been trying to find answers in docs, google, and various irc channels..

I've got an 8410 hermes based PCMCIA card in one of orinoco's pci adaptor boards.

I boot from live CD with the smp kernel. My card is already inserted so I expect that since the hermes.ko, orinoco.ko and orinoco_pci.ko modules are there, that the card will be started. It's not. lsmod shows no hermes or orinoco modules, so I modprobe orinoco which inserts hermes and orinoco. Card still has no lights.

logs show that when i insert the card it tries to load a prism2 card (modprobe tries it cause it's already compiled into kernel) and fails. So I know the card is good and it sees a pcmcia card being inserted.

iwconfig only shows lo..

This is kind of my last outstretched hand reaching for help.

if anyone's got any ideas I would be most grateful for your input.

Thanks,

Nasty
