If orinoco is in compat-wireless and hostap is not, I'm concerned that
users with hostap would end up with a less capable orinoco driver.
I'm going to make a patch that would disable support for Prism chipset
in Orinoco by default. It should have been done long ago, but I never
had a chance, and patches proposed by others had quality issues.
