I want to use orinoco cards with desktop PCs equiped with 
PCI bri bridges (Don't tell me to buy ISA bridges, cause 
the machines aren't mine, they're the property of my 
university.) and I've read a mail in a linux kernel 
developement list, that the PCI bridges (with TI1410 chip) 
are supported now (or atleast a patch exist for 2.4.5).

The second cause is that I want to make performance test 
(detect collosions (bad CRC frames)), want to extract 
management frames and control the use of the usage of 
RTS/CTS directly on a per frame basis. This is because I'm 
working on an AODV implementation.

Ok it's true that if I want to hack into the orinoco module 
than the minimum is for me to be able to configure the 
connection without documentation, only guided by the 
source, but I thought that I ask you people on the list to 
share your experiences.
