You may have to jump to a 2.4 kernel, unless the airport driver that's
built against the orinoco_cs driver works with 2.2.x (which it doesn't
appear to). If you're daring enough to try it, you can get BenH's current
tree by doing the following:

    mkdir linux-2.4-benh
    rsync -avzc penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh linux-2.4-benh/

Then you'll have to setup either a dummy or tap/tun interface, and use
iptables to masq the MoL session out to the real world. Due to some design
issues with 802.11, you won't be able to just piggyback the MoL session
over the wireless interface directly.
