Dan, Version 0.15 (which is the version in the kernel) still has some issues with specific orinoco type cards. Certain cards return/require a specific header when doing scan or rfmon (see for example: http://www.kismetwireless.net/download.shtml) Applying this patch to kernel source doesn't work. But I also noticed that there are other certain incompatibilities as welll that are addressed in the Agere source. Ok so I am being a little finky ;) but this is also in a sense a test of what (I am personallY) able to achieve in Linux (learn as you go...) I will try the hostap drivers to see if that helps. I am still curious to know though how it is possible to compile a pcmcia driver that requires the use of pcmcia-cs source for compilitation...

Upstream Orinoco has supported scanning for quite a while. Dave Jones merged that support into the upstream kernel sometime around 2.6.14. Furthermore, if you really want _everything_ that the orinoco has to offer, don't use the 'orinoco' driver, use the 'hostap' driver in recent kernels. That supports both Master mode _and_ wpa_supplicant. In fact, if I plug in my WaveLAN card, hostap seems to be the default driver anyway, not orinoco. What other bits are missing that aren't provided by hostap?
