Yeah, mea culpa, I fixed the bug but forgot to upload it to the
website.

Well, you shouldn't need to change the Makefile from the kernel for
anything since about 2.4.5 - it already includes the orinoco driver.

If you compile standalone you will need to copy all three modules into
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless, then run "depmod
-a" to update the dependency table, then use modprobe.  Or you can
load the 'hermes.o', 'orinoco.o' and 'orinoco_cs.o' modules in that
order.
