[iPAQ] Re: orinoco with 2.4.7 probs

oookay,

Whell I got the Orinoco gold card working, but using the wvlan_cs
drivers. Man I love this wireless card. But anyways, I was able to do
the afore-mentioned manual tweak to orinoco.c and compile it, But it had
no effect. Nothin Doin. So I donno, I will keep using the wvlan_cs for
now, but I have another D-Link DWL650 Card and wvlan_cs will not pull
it's mac address, but orinoco_cs does. But again, the orinoco_cs
drivers put out the funky packets.

Any Ideas??
