Thanks, I was able to get one of my 2 cards working with this.

The one I did get working was a Linksys WPC11. The one I could not get
working was the Compaq  W200 USB oeinoc card.

The patch applied cleanly even though I was using one rev later orinoco
drivers from CVS orinoco-0.15rc3. I needed these to get the USB card
working.

BTW, why are these patches, why are they not merged with the orinoco modues
CVS?

Alos I'm puzzled by why the USB card does not work. Here is iwpriv for both
cards:

Thye look identical to me. eth1 is the Compaq card BTW.

Thanks, again for the nice wwriteup, and all the help.
