Apart from this stupid flame that I'm making, I've got my Intel/Symbol card to work properly with the Orinoco driver. This mean that we are not far away to have the 4 main flavor of 802.11b working in 2.4.X (i.e. Lucent/Symbol/PrismII/Aironet). See : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Orinoco.html#patches Just to make sure we end on a positive note ;-) Now, if I could get the card of Alan to work... Have fun, don't take it seriously... Jean
