Buffalo wavelan cards.  11mbit/s, work with the 'orinoco' driver.  Just
about any PCMCIA type wavelan card will work with either orinoco or
prism2, these come with the kernel.

2.4.21 out, for anyone who cares.  I've just made some .deb packages of it
for my server at work, but i wont install and reboot until i'm stood next
to it.
