It's absurd to suggest that there is some sort of competition
between correcting bugs and documenting a program.
In fact I would say that documentation is essential
to the development of a bug-free program.

I'm was only asking for instructions on how to use the program ...

Well, I have this device -- Orinoco USB Client -- and I want to use it.
[I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get it working too.]

Is there any way of searching the archives, as a matter of interest?

Actually you are wrong --
it is a variant of Intersil.

Incidentally, may I ask -- as a newbie to the world of 802.11 --
what is the relation between linux-wlan-ng and the kernel 802.11 stuff?
Are they rivals (or perhaps I should say parallel developments)
or are they part of the same thing?
I assumed the former;
but some of the similarities in the code made me wonder.
