Hopefully I remember all the steps correctly. What follows is what I used
for a DHCP based connection with a software airport base station.
1. Edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and set
include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff
include port 0x1000-0x1fff
I have since been told that the second line should be 0x100-0x1ff, but
what I list above is working.
2. Edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts and remove the section the comments say
to remove. I then added something like
home,*,*,00:60:1D:*|home,*,*,00:02:2D:*)
INFO="Wavelan IEEE (HomeWireless Network)"
ESSID="HomeWireless"
MODE="Ad-Hoc"
;;
The section where I added this was already partially defined with a
comment referring to the Orinoco.
3. Edit (create?) /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. I then added
home,*,*,*)
INFO="WaveLan IEEE"
DHCP="Y"
DHCP_HOSTNAME=`hostname`
;;
4. Edit /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia and set PCIC=i82365
5. Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 with something like
NAME=freyr
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
DNS1=192.168.64.113
DNS2=
6. Set the SCHEME environment variable to the id specified in the config
files (i.e. home).
7. Do /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start and watch the log file to see if
anything interesting happens. Depending on what other networking you
have set up, you might need to remove a previous default route from
the routing table.
If you haven't already done so, you should also take a look at Paul Lucas'
wireless page (homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/personal/powerbook/wireless.html)
With the new YDL distribution and stock 2.2.19 kernel I didn't need to build
a custom kernel or add any software as he describes, but I did derive most
of my configuration settings from the information he provides.

Actually it does work with the Silver. That is what I am using on the Mac
OS side.
