The problem is that the ng drivers break on some cards.  I've had to
help people remove the ng cards that had real orinoco cards because they
wouldn't work with those drivers.  


The lack of Centrino drivers is purely a function of the fact that Intel
hasn't released the info to make them nor have they made their own.
There was some discussion on the LKML a while back suggesting that part
of the problem is the newer cards can transmit on pretty much any
frequency which makes providing the infromation on how to control the
cards problematic from a regulatory standpoint (e.g. FCC in the US).

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.
