Subject: orinoco_cs and WPA-EAP?

Sigh, nothing's ever easy. After abandoning the CTX714 I mentioned in an 
earlier email, I find that the Thinkpad T42 I got from eBay came with some 
kind of Orinoco 802.11B mini-PCI card installed. Ubuntu Jaunty's 2.6.28 kernel 
loads up the orinoco_cs driver for this card. It appears that this driver only 
supports WPA-PSK, and I use WPA-EAP on my home wlan. Has anyone done any work 
on supporting WPA-EAP for this card?

As an exercise in futility, I also built a wlags49-h1-cs driver and 
wpa_supplicant-0.6.9 with Hermes driver support. After patching it all to 
compile and run on my 2.6.28 kernel, I found that it also only supports 
WPA-PSK. I'm going to guess that this was obviously a waste of time and these 
patches aren't interesting/useful going forward, since the original Lucent 
code is so ancient...
