	David Gibson is the official maintainer of the Orinoco
driver. Pavel Roskin is the person that did most of the work on
0.15rc1+. I think it would be a nice idea to involve those two person
in such a discussion (therefore, cc'ed).
	The difference between 0.13e and 0.15rc1+ is not small. I
believe Pavel did a good job in splitting the various patches in small
pieces when adding them to the CVS, and David has tracked the kernel,
but reconciliating the two branches is no trivial matter.
	Jeff, does BitKeeper allow to merge patches at an earlier
point than the last version and reconciliate both branches ? That
might come handy.
	Good luck...

	Jean

Hi,

This patch is simply the fixed-up diff between the kernel's current
0.13e version and the upstream 0.15rc1+ version from savannah CVS.
0.15rc1 has been out for a couple months now and seems stable.

The major benefits that this newer version brings are, of course, many
bugfixes, but best of all wireless scanning support for the Orinoco line
of cards.
