Your best bet is to build your own 2.2.x kernel and modules and pcmcia and
replace it wholesale. I messed with it some and came to the conclusion
that the 2.0.x kernel and the included version of pcmcia is not ready to
make the wireless stuff go well. Frankly, I also decided that 802.11b, as
much as it is convenient (for me, too), is not a key, core, rescue and
recovery requirement, meaning, not that I won't ever support it, but that
it will probably fall to a lower priority than many other things.
