Thanks very much for your info.
I'm surprised there is no driver for this device,
as it apparently consists simply of an Orinoco (Gold?) PCMCIA card
together with a USB-PCMCIA adaptor,
so I don't imagine there is anything mysterious inside.
(I read somewhere that one can just take the PCMCIA card out,
and use that.)
But even given that it doesn't work,
I find the instructions with the linux-wlan-ng code
so sparse as to be almost useless.
You mention in your web-page above various steps to take
which are not mentioned anywhere in the linux-wlan-ng README
(as far as I can see the only relevant documentation).
This seems particularly surprising as the linux-wlan people
seem to set themselves up as models of software style,
including with the linux-wlan-ng sources
advice on how to write comments in C code (sparsely),
where to put braces { ... } in C, etc.
Perhaps their time would have been better spent
documenting their own software ...
