<P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As far as I can see (with my very basic C knowledge) this module consists of only a few lines of code to initial the pcmcia card</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">, and then let the</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Orinoco</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> driver do its work</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The only thing which has to be changed in the</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Orinoco</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> driver are two lines of code in</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Orinoco</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">.c and</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Orinoco</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">.</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">h.</FONT></P>
