minitar pcmcia card

Well I got a Minitar PCMCIA 80211b card from a shop in the city, the salesdude said it would work with linux so I presumed it had an orinoco chip or some similar commonly supported chipset inside..

Infortunately it doesn't. I'll give minitar points for at least trying to support Linux on their products but this driver is not even really alpha stage yet, in fact it is a bit of a mess. They should GPL it and let the Linux community refine this driver to work as well as the other GPL drivers.

My tale of frustrating annoyances as documented on their support forum.
