On a similar note, would anyone object to collecting the orinoco files
in a subdirectory? I'm looking at doing some refactoring of orinoco.c
which I think can be split into at least 3 files.

Dave.

PS the existing files that would move:
airport.c
hermes.c
hermes.h
hermes_dld.c
hermes_dld.h
hermes_rid.h
orinoco.c
orinoco.h
orinoco_cs.c
orinoco_pci.c
orinoco_pci.h
orinoco_plx.c
orinoco_tmd.c
orinoco_nortel.c
spectrum_cs.c
