PCMCIA (was Re: [plug] airsnort)

[Adam Hewitt]

As it turns out I do *not* have to use the PCMCIA software as mentioned
by Matt Kemner. Apple ibooks do not use a pcmcia module as such (it is a
pcmcia card but the bus is somehow different) I ended up starting from
scratch with the latest 2.4 kernel from benh, compiling it, and then
compiling in the orinoco drivers...and it worked straight out. One thing
to keep in mind is that the airport driver still needs to be loaded, but
it automatically brings in the orinoco and the hermes drivers.
