Well, I got that one right, actually. A new kernel was needed as
wireless.o is linked against the kernel image.
It now works very well.
I have an orinoco 0.11b driver with support with the wireless extension
14 installed on my iPaq running linux 2.4.18
I also have the wireless tools 24 installed and working also quite well.
AP scanning works great ! That's a very good job !
Thanks
