Have you had any luck? I just bought one of these today and was about to try it with RH8.

Read this page, seems pretty straight forward to me. Will try it tomorrow or the day after.
Hope this helps.

OP
thanks will try it. No luck so far
OK i got it working just fine.
What I had to do was the following:
1. Boot PC with the card not fitted.
2. loaded modules orinoco, orinoco_cs, hermes
3. Fit card, PC should beep.
4. tail -10 /var/log/messages and write down the 2 addresses after manfid
5. create /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf with the following in it.
device "orinoco_cs"
class "network"
module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"
# LinkSys WPC11
card "Instant Wireless Network PC Card"
manfid 0x0274,0x1612 #Substitute your addresses here
bind "orinoco_cs"
6. restart pcmcia services - /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
Now in network settings you should be able to add new device - wireless and see the Orinoco card type available.
Hope this helps.
