this patch seems to break my setup. The hostap_cs driver included in kernel 2.6.16 does not detect my Prism 2 WLAN card anymore, although it is *not* Orinoco. With 2.6.15.5 it still worked.
It mean hostap_cs was identifying the card solely by its numeric ID (0x0156, 0x0002) instead of the vendor strings. Since that particular numeric ID was used both by cards that are supported by hostap_cs and those that are not, it cannot be used in hostap_cs. Sebastian, please send me the output of "pccardctl ident" and I'll submit the patch for hostap_cs.
This patch didn't come through me, so I don't know much about it. Hopefully Pavel or Dominik can comment?
