I'm running a WAP-11 linksys access point with the WPC11 card. The
output of iwconfig indicates "managed" mode. The message I get
when the driver is loading for the firmware version is this
wvlan_cs: Found firmware 0x8 (vendor 0) - Firmware capabilities : 0-0-0-0-0
I've not fiddled with firmware on the AP or the card, and I just re-tested
inserting the orinoco module back to test, only 12k transfers but I
dont see any errors from iwconfig/ifconfig either.

There doesnt seem to be an error type messages when the modules are
loading, however I might be wrong on this. I have pasted the
iwconfig/ifconfig output below. I dont see any transfer errors when
running the orinoco/hermes combo, just the slowness.
Thanks for the help,
