Ok... I understood what I got wrong.
The ori.11b.we14.mos.diff is a patch that embeds PhaseI+II but only for 
the orinoco driver... It is still necessary to apply the iw_handler.xx 
patches. I misunderstood that part actually.


Anyway, that let me go further. I now managed to compile the orinoco 
driver with the WE14 patches (I actually managed to do it for ori.0.9b 
and ori.0.11b) but when I installed it on the iPaq I get a depmod error.
I think that one of the added files (net/core/wireless.c) is not 
intended to be a module and that means that I need to compile a new 
kernel that links against that piece of code, am I right ?

(for info, depmod -e 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o
returned :

Thanks a lot.
