RE: Request: could familiar include a different 802.11 driver?

Familiar is using the wvlan_cs driver.

The orinoco_cs driver does not work with arm/linux and seems to have
been removed in 2.4.6. I only put a couple of hours into it, but I made
very little headway. I got it to stop panicking, but it did not seem to
communicate with anything else.
