I've got a Wallstreet PB running YDL 3.0+ with a ZoomAir 802.11b card (cost
me <$35 total with shipping), and uses the orinoco drivers :
# /sbin/lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
orinoco_cs 6504 1
orinoco 36816 0 [orinoco_cs]
hermes 10944 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco]
ds 9984 2 [orinoco_cs]
yenta_socket 13744 2
pcmcia_core 55040 0 [orinoco_cs ds yenta_socket]
It talks to my Netgear WiFi AP/router fine, and sets up the network (eth1)
automagically when I put the card in (assuming all the kernel modules are
loaded -- I haven't got *that* process quite automated).
