I have a Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco WiFi PC card which uses the wavelan driver. =
I=20
just dropped it in and it detected, installed and made it available. (But =
I=20
did already have a PC card kernel and wireless tools on the box).

On a very related note, I have a problem with my Zebra installation. I =
am=20
using a script which detects any new WiFi cards in range (in ad hoc mode) =
and=20
adds them to the kernel routing table. This table is then extracted by =
OSPF=20
and mirrored to my other routers. This box *should* then add the informatio=
n=20
to its own kernel routing table, but it does not. Any ideas about how to =
do=20
this?
