The card I have is a Spectec FCC ID: S2Y-WLAN-11B-G which I believe is a SDW-823 and should use the ks7010 driver. I am going to attempt to get it running on a Raspberry Pi B+.

That would explain why I could not find more than the Orinoco driver using the Michael MIC module directly. > Without the CFG80211 conversion, replacing the Michael custom > implementation with the in-kernel one makes the driver a tad better and > is good exercise.

Oh, and test that it works. thanks, Tobin.
