Well, if you do not like it you are free to fix it. Right now I would rather have them: a) fixing bugs like: - 0.1.14 system hangs - 0.1.13 timing issues b) adding necessry features like: - WEP - Infrastructure Maste mode This is alpha software which is under development. When the version gets beta I am sure the will be documentation. > I find it astonishing that in writing that > the authors did not think it worth-while explaining clearly > how to use their software. For me README was clear enough. I guess that if the soft is alpha and you do not know how to use it - don't, wait until it is OK. > On a small point -- I don't think it is at all clear > from the web-pages you point to (apart from your own) > that the Orinoco USB Client does not work with linux-wlan-ng .

Probably because nobody else has it. But AFAIR Sony is identical to Orinoco - they even look the same. Then the comments on the list for Orinoco client apply. I guess I have nothing else to say about it.
