wireless error

I have an IBM Thinkpad A21m from about 1995. It was running Fedora Core 
3 with no problem, but I decided to try to upgrade it to Fedora 9. It 
wouldn't upgrade, so I tried a full install. It still didn' work, so I 
tried Fedora 10.

Well, F10 installed fine, but now my wireless card won't work. I'm 
getting:
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
    SET failed on device eth0 ; Device or resource busy.

Searching on the net gave me no real answers. When I had this problem 
with "Set Mode" I just editied the 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and changed the line from
Mode=Master to Mode=

Can I do that to fix this? If yes, which file contains the Frequency
line?

The card worked fine in Core3, but it's an Orinoco Gold, Lucent
Technologies PC24E-H-FC

Thanks!
  Tom
