Don't be. How many Linux compatible USB-PCMCIA bridges have you seen ?

It's alpha code. Wait a year or two. It is clearly written
on www.linux-wlan.org which devices work.

My setup is for getting card working with Red Hat Linux and similar
systems with no need to plug in plug out.

Man, stop bitching about it. Folks do it in their free time,
nobody pays them for doing it and you are bitching ?
You have no right to do it.
Just shut up and go complain to Lucent - they got your money
- complain to them.
It is clearly stated that linux-wlan-ng is alpha quality.
If you do not know what it means - learn, don't bitch.
There are more important issues right now than documentation.
Especially for owners of cards which are not meant to be supported by
the software.
