The Orinoco WaveLAN IEEE Bronze, Silver and Gold cards are well supported by
the wi driver. If PCMCIA is configured correctly on your machine to know
what resources, irqs and i/o ports, are available and running then the
WaveLAN card should just work when you plug the card. You will need to
familiarize yourself with wicontrol to set the parameter so you can use your
network. If you wish to use IBSS mode you will want to update the firmware
on your card to the latest (7.28) using the software from Lucent and a
Windows box.
