Actually the 1.0.6 driver included in the latest pcmcia-cs packages
works with 2.4. Normally, when you build pcmcia-cs against a 2.4
kernel the modules are not built since they are supposed to be included
with the kernel... obviously not all of them are, however. You can
force it to build the wvlan_cs driver by adding "wireless" to the
end of DIRS in the top-level makefile. This will successfully build
the wvlan_cs module, which can then be inserted into a 2.4 kernel
and appears to work. I did observe a problem with iwconfig dumping
core, but it seems to do its job before it dies, so this may be non-
critical.
The 1.0.6 driver is dated Dec-7-2000 and supports all the latest
"orinico" firmware revisions. Somebody with the time and inclination
should probably integrate it into the main kernel source and send a
patch to Linus.
