Just from end user's standpoint:
I am totally bored with this "model". Every time new kernel comes I
first delete all orinoco drivers, because I can't even blacklist them. I
don't want to use them, I have a better driver -->hostap. When I try to
do the following in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom :
# a) Do NOT load orinoco_pci/plx when we are using hostap driver
# b) Do NOT load eepro100, 8139cp
blacklist orinoco_pci
blacklist orinoco_plx
blacklist eepro100
blacklist 8139cp
The eepro100 and 8139cp get blacklisted just fine but not the
orinoco_pci, it always want to load itself.
Because of this and the lack of WPA support in orinoco drivers the
prism2 id:s should be removed from the orinoco drivers. To achieve
security you have to run vpn over wireless when you use orinoco drivers.
How the orinoco driver can be as _good_ as the hostap driver for the
prism2 cards? I think hostap is a lot better.
