How to Switch PCMCIA Wireless Cards?

[LaneLester]

I installed Legacy OS (former TeenPup) with one PCMCIA wireless card, and I would like to try using a different wireless card.

I tried switching the cards, but the network was not discovered with the new card.

The system is using the orinoco driver.

The original card is a D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650, and the replacement is an AmbiCom WL-1100.
