[NCLUG] Problems with Orinoco on Linux 2.4 on Toshiba Libretto

I am running into problems trying to get my wireless working on the Linux
side of
my dual boot libretto. The card works just fine on the Win2k side and in pains
me greatly that I cant get the Linux side to work.
Here is what I have done so far.
I have installed the orinoco-0.13c files in my Linux 2.4.18-24 KRUD
distribution.
Here are the contents of the key files

# Wireless LAN adapter configuration
#
# Theory of operation :
#
# The script attempts to match a block of settings to the specific wireless
# card inserted, the *first* block matching the card is used.
# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr", with * as a
wildcard.
# 'scheme' is the pcmcia scheme (set via 'cardctl scheme XXX').
# 'hwaddr' is the unique MAC address identifier of the wireless card.
# The MAC address is usually printed on the card, or can be found via ifconfig.
# Some examples here use only half of the MAC address with a wildcard to
# match a whole family of cards...
#
# All the Wireless specific configuration is done through the Wireless
# Extensions, so we will just call 'iwconfig' with the right parameters
# defined below.
# Of course, you need to have iwconfig installled on your system.
# To download iwconfig, or for more info on Wireless Extensions :
# http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
#
# Note : you don't need to fill all parameters, leave them blank, in most
# cases the driver will initialise itself with sane defaults values or
# automatically figure out the value... And no drivers do support all
# possible settings...
#
# If you make any mistakes, you'll get a cryptic message in the system
# log. You'll need to figure out on your own which parameter was wrong:
# cardmgr[310]: executing: './network start wvlan0'
# cardmgr[310]: + SIOCSIWMODE: Invalid argument
# I've tried to give more troubleshooting help at :
# http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html#debug
# In case of doubts, just check "/etc/pcmcia/wireless" for the gory details...
#
# Note also that this script will work only with the original Pcmcia scripts,
# and not with the default Red Hat scripts. Send a bug report to Red Hat ;-)
#
# Finally, send comments and flames to me, Jean Tourrilhes <jt at hpl.hp.com>

HERE is some log output. When I try to activate the card through the
redhat GUI
I get the power light to come on, but it says that it times out when trying to
get DHCP. I have tried to statically ip the card and then it will activate
via the gui
but it cannot ping the gateway in that configuration.
