I have a lucent wavelan silver card (prism-1 ?) It used to work with
rawhide kernels with orinoco_cs driver. Currently it doesn't work with
kernel-2.6.4-1.305.  The driver get loaded - but the lights on the
card don't blink.. Hmm..

Installation is easy - get the cvs (as per instructions at madwifi
website) and do : 'make; make install'

However the latest cvs doesn't work with the 2.6 kernel for me
(network activity stopps after a while). And unloading the driver
gives 'segfault'.
