The Hermes I card might need orinoco_cs.o, which I did not find in 
Slackware 7.1 modules.  Slackware 8.1 does not have a /modules.  I think 
they have one very large file with all the modules in it.  How does one 
figure out which modules are in it?

I found something else which suggested that a 2.4 kernel will support this 
card.  Does it need to be a Slackware kernel and modules?
