I've backported David Gibson's orinoco_plx wireless driver to kernel 2.2.
The port is based on David Hinds's pcmcia-cs package. I've been running
various versions of this backport for over a year now and it has been
working well. I've updated it to the latest (testing, beta) version of
the orinoco_plx driver (0.13b) and the latest version of pcmcia-cs (3.2.3).
The patch comes in two parts. The first part updates the version of
orinoco, hermes, and orinoco_cs modules in pcmcia-cs-3.2.3 from 0.11b to
0.13b. The second part adds the backported orinoco_plx module. After
applying both patches, configure, build, and install pcmcia-cs as normal
and you should have an additional orinoco_plx.o module ready to use.
Patches are rather large so I've put them online here:

Eck... be aware that the "testing" version, although labelled 0.13b
may not be the final 0.13b version.

More than likely it won't (your call though), I was using the "testing"
version when I discovered the problems as per my last email to you. I'll
have some more details sometime today or tomorrow.

Yup, understood. I'll update the backport as necessary. Just wanted to
start from the most recent code base available, even if it's still in
flux. I would have gone with 0.13a but a couple bugfixes in 0.13b seemed
worth having.
