This is probably a very elementary question but ...
I have an Orinoco USB Client 802.11 wireless device.
I looked round for drivers for this device,
but the only one I could find was that provided by linux-wlan-ng .
(If there is an alternative please let me know.)
I get the following lines in /var/log/messages:
================================================
Apr 27 16:30:19 alfred kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned
device number 2
Apr 27 16:30:19 alfred kernel: Product: ORiNOCO USB Client
Apr 27 16:30:19 alfred kernel: SerialNumber: 01UT34374013
Apr 27 16:30:19 alfred kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x47e/0x300) is not
claimed by any active driver.
...
Apr 27 16:30:30 alfred kernel: usb.c: registered new driver prism2_usb
================================================
Am I meant to make an entry into some config file
to tell USB to use the driver prism2_usb with this device?
(The documentation with the driver tells me to say
modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
but when I do this I get the response
wlanctl-ng: No such device
which is not surprising since no device wlan0 has been created.)
When I insert a USB card that works (a 3Com USB Bluetooth adaptor)
I get the following entry in /var/log/messages:
================================================
Apr 27 23:11:54 alfred /sbin/hotplug: invoke /etc/hotplug/usb.agent ()
Apr 27 23:11:59 alfred kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned

Apr 27 23:12:00 alfred kernel: usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 80000500, flags 0, urb c13adde0, burb
c727c320
================================================
which seems to imply that the driver usb-uhci has been found, and is in use.
Any light on this, or any suggestions or advice,
gratefully received.
