Well, I agree/confirm that wvlan_cs doesn't work, and is old and |
| 12 |
unmaintained, or not really maintained. And you're right about orinoco_cs. |

BTW FYI there's a very nice driver called prism2 (not prism2_cs, that's |
| 14 |
different) that can turn a wireless card into an AP :-) and despite its name, |
| 15 |
it does support pcmcia_cs. |
