well, it currently works for me, however I haven't heard of anybody
else who tried it out (and succeeded). Therefore I'm looking forward
to FOSDEM hoping that we can do some more testing there.

card removal is not yet implemented, I want to get the userspace
implementation of the cardmgr do that however.

well, a userspace cardmgr shouldn't be too much of a problem. I just
need to make some interface to gnumach. And the kernel implementation
was somewhat easier to do for the first time around :-)

Currently I'm trying to get an orinoco card running, however the
wireless utils probably need to reside in the userspace - compiled-in
essid is really useless. This is, I need to add some interface 
soon anyways ...

cheers,
