Dan,
Version 0.15 (which is the version in the kernel) still has some issues with
specific orinoco type cards. Certain cards return/require a specific header
when doing scan or rfmon (see for example:
http://www.kismetwireless.net/download.shtml)
Applying this patch to kernel source doesn't work. But I also noticed that
there are other certain incompatibilities as welll that are addressed in the
Agere source. Ok so I am being a little finky ;) but this is also in a sense
a test of what (I am personallY) able to achieve in Linux (learn as you
go...)
I will try the hostap drivers to see if that helps.
I am still curious to know though how it is possible to compile a pcmcia
driver that requires the use of pcmcia-cs source for compilitation...

Yes that would be an opinion if the orinoco driver actually fully
supported
the complete set of instructions that Agere provide.
Even with the integration of the latest orinoco version, the current
driver
is not able to support scanning and doesn't support
wpa_supplicant...
Upstream Orinoco has supported scanning for quite a while. Dave Jones
merged that support into the upstream kernel sometime around 2.6.14.
Furthermore, if you really want _everything_ that the orinoco has to
offer, don't use the 'orinoco' driver, use the 'hostap' driver in
recent
kernels. That supports both Master mode _and_ wpa_supplicant. In fact,
if I plug in my WaveLAN card, hostap seems to be the default driver
anyway, not orinoco.
What other bits are missing that aren't provided by hostap?
