Yesterday I tried the Avaya card under W98. I did not configure 
the network, but the card was able to scan the local wireless 
networks.

I downloaded these module packets, but could not find orinoco.o that 
will be necessary to initialize the card. It would be great if you 
could compile this one, too.

Until now cardmgr from Slackware 7.1 and the wireless-tools 
which I am able to compile in that environment will do the job. 
I will, however, not be able to compile kernels.
