The removal program for the wavelan or orinoco card drivers blows
goats.

Theres a text file in the drivers which has some information about
what files to search for to remove after you've tried to remove it.
Only once you've gotten rid of _everything_ and rebooted does the new
install have a chance of working, and then not always. Follow the
instructions to the letter.

The older wavelan IEEE cards can be upgraded to the same firmware as
the "orinoco" cards, btw.
