[I apologize if this sent twice, my kernel list subscription was inactive w=
hen i sent
initially so I'm not sure it was sent properly]
I'm not sure who the current "keeper of the flame" is on drivers/net/wirele=
ss/
orinoco_plx.c so I'm submitting this patch to any conceivably appropriate
places.

This patch adds support to the Linux kernel (tested on 2.4.18, 2.4.19-pre3 =
and
2.4.19-pre3-ac1) for the Belkin F5D6000 "Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapt=
er".
This is a PLX PCI9502 based PCMCIA adapter that allows 802.11b wireless net=
work
cards (mainly Prism2 based, like the Belkin F5D6020) to work on desktop box=
en.

This patch would be a great addition to the appropriate packages, including=
 the
Linux kernel as Belkins components tend to be low cost and high quality, as
well as widely available.

The patch contents are basically an addition to orinoco_plx.c so that it
recognizes the IO Addresses of the Belkin F5D6000 and configures it
appropriately.  It is a small patch but it does the trick; I have tested it
extensively on my Linux box in both Managed and Ad-Hoc modes with a Belkin
F5D6020 card.

It has been applied and tested (as aformentioned) against 2.4.18, 2.4.19-pr=
e3
and 2.4.19-pre3-ac1.

I am posting a page at http://www.jacked-in.org/linux/belkin_wireless.php w=
ith
more details on this patch and using Belkin's Wireless components with Linu=
x
for those interested.

Patch follows inline & attached:
