Hey,

Sinbce I got no reply, could we at least integrate the orinoco kismet patch
please. The instructions are:
"I just install the latest pcmcia-cs package. Download the orinoco drivers
provided by the orinoco website for linux. Untar the drivers in any directory.
In the orinoco directory make a directory called wireless. Copy the entire
contents of the orinoco directory you must untared to the wireless directory
which you just created. copy the patch (pcmcia-cs-3.2.1-orinoco-patch.diff) to
the orinoco directory (parent to wireless). in the orinoco directory run the
patch like "patch -p0 < pcmcia-cs-3.2.1-orinoco-patch.diff"
it will patch the wireless drivers for the orinoco. run "make" in the wireless
directory. then run make install. It will install the drivers over the kernel
drivers or whichever is being used, go figure and restart your pcmcia card
services "service pcmcia restart" It should work. do a iwpriv eth0 and it should
show monitor at the bottom. Hope this helps" found on

Hey,

I think wlan-ng should be used to setup the wireless features of the SMC2632W
rather than whatever Mandrake is currently using (it's loading orinoco_cs). This
would standardise a bit more the way wireless is handled under Mandrake 9.2.
