Truemobile 1150 scanning support

[Tony Arnold]

I have a Dell C.400 laptop with a Truemobile 1150 wireless adaptor
installed internally. The 1150, I believe, is an Orinoco adaptor based
on the Prism 2 chipset.

The problem is that the driver that comes with Hoary does not support
scanning on this card and so utilities such as Wifi-Radar and the neat
script on the Ubuntu WiFiHowto
(http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/WiFiHowto) pages (which relies on doing
an iwlist scan) do not work.

As I move from home to work and connect to several different networks,
the above utilities would be really useful.

Does anyone have any experience or can point to any documentation on a
version of the driver that does support scanning and if so can you help
me with the details of building and installing such a driver?

Does the driver under Breezy support scanning to anybodies knowledge?

All help very much appreciated as usual.

Regards,
Tony.
