I successfully built and am using a Hermes-II driver for the Proxim/Orinoco
Silver 8421-WD. The source code came from the Agere website, at:
http://www.agere.com/support/drivers/ and I'm running it on a Powerbook G3.
It was built against the 2.4.25 Debian kernel on www.ppckernel.org (from
3/5/2004) (patched with the pcmcia eject patch).
The current driver is version 7.18. This source code also supports the
following chipsets (see below).
The source code and configuration files require a few minor changes. I am in
the process of hopefully getting these changes included in the next release
from Agere. I don't have a patch file yet, but will create one if anyone is
interested. I am not subscribed to this list currently, so please reply to me
personally as well as to the list until I get the mail filters set up
correctly.
regards,
Frank
