mcgrof@tesla ~/wireless-testing/drivers/net/wireless (git::v2.6.27-rc6)$ grep -nHr "#include <net/ieee80211.h>" *
orinoco.c:88:#include <net/ieee80211.h>

Whatever these suckers are using can probably be slapped in there as
well. But yea -- we just need to get it done huh.
Almost all of what orinoco uses can now be sourced from <linux/ieee80211.h> instead. However there are the following constants:

Missing:
MAX_WPA_IE_LEN (64)
WEP_KEYS (4)

Possible alternative, but change in value:
IEEE80211_FRAME_LEN (2334) != IEEE80211_MAX_FRAME_LEN (2352)

Obviously these can be defined locally if we're not sure if they should be global, or where they belong.

Dave.
