I copied the wireless code -- i.e. the source code in drivers/net/wireless
-- from 2.5.73 to my local 2.4.21-ben2 tree, and applied the
iw241_we16-6.diff patch for the wireless extensions version 16 code, and
rebuilt. I also turned on the orinoco debug flag.
Here's the output of dmesg after I run ifup eth1, with the correct essid and
enc key set in /etc/network/interfaces:
orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others)
airport.c 0.13e (Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
Airport at physical address 80030000

eth1: Station name "HERMES I"
eth1: ready
eth1: <- orinoco_init()
airport: card registered for interface eth1
eth1: -> orinoco_ioctl()
eth1: <- orinoco_ioctl()
eth1: -> orinoco_ioctl()
eth1: -> orinoco_ioctl_getiwrange()
eth1: <- orinoco_ioctl_getiwrange()
eth1: <- orinoco_ioctl()
...
eth1: Unknown information frame received (type f202).
eth1: -> orinoco_xmit()
eth1: <- orinoco_xmit()
eth1: Unknown information frame received (type f202).
eth1: -> orinoco_xmit()

eth1: Unknown information frame received (type f202).
eth1: -> orinoco_xmit()
eth1: <- orinoco_xmit()
eth1: Unknown information frame received (type f202).
...
and that's followed by a lot of f202 packets and orinoco_xmit()s.
still no sign of a connection to the AP though.
