I downloaded the orinoco-0.13e drivers, patched them with the monitor patch, 
and replaced the default kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk orinoco drivers with them.  
They sort of work.  If I run "iwpriv" I get "monitor" as one of the available 
options but trying to put the card into monitor mode fails.  I can put in 
into ad-hoc and managed mode, just not monitor.  

As I have never looked at any kernel-tmb rpms...do you supply a kernel-source 
rpm for it as well?   As soon as I install 9.2 I will want to dump the kernel 
and replace it with one that provides patched orinoco drivers to allow for 
monitor mode.  The -tmb kernel sounds OK except I want some grsecurity 
functions activated and that means recompiling the kernel.
