Just tested three cards:

1) Belkin F5D6020 (unknown revision). This is an older orinoco device (primary firmware 0.3.0, if I'm not mistaken). The hostap driver doesn't load. Once orinoco_cs is reenabled (post beta), this card should start to work again, because hostap disavows knowledge of this card.

2) Netgear MA401 (unknown revision). Same exact situation as #1

3) Netgear MA401 (Rev. D). This is a much newer card (supporting the most recent primary and secondary firmwares from http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ ). It is supported by the hostap driver. It _does_ work with the command line tools, but fails to work with network manager. Therefore, it is affected by bug 57146.

I bricked my internal mini-PCI wireless NIC device a while back trying to update the firmware, so I can't test it.

As far as I can tell, once bug 57146 is fixed and the new kernel is released including orinoco_*, all my cards should be working.

Thanks!
