Try this..   http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/

Supposedly it does work(and quite well). I have a Proxim ORiNOCO 11a/b/g
card I'm chomping at the bit to use, but I haven't been able to compile it.
I get unresolved symbols all over the place and since I'm not versed at all
in coding I have no clue. Now if I can figure out how to compile the kernel
2.4.22(since it has been recommended to use a newest non-RH binary) so that
all the files needed for RH to boot properly are correctly named and placed
maybe I can compile the kernel 2.4.22 and see if the WiFi drivers compile
and function.
