The following Orinoco tutorial mentions 2.2.X kernels:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Orinoco.html
It recommends pcmcia-cs-3.1.29 or later.
I used 3.2.7 for BL3.

Yes, they are now part of the kernel sourcecode
(which is more convenient).

They are not part of the 2.2 kernel sourcecode.
The pcmcia-cs package is used to add them.

I'm sorry to hear that.

That, at least, is good news.

So we have at least two wireless modules that
we know will work: wvlan and airo

Me too. The more data we get about these modules
the better.
