Every time new kernel comes I first delete all orinoco drivers, because I can't even blacklist them. I don't want to use them, I have a better driver -->hostap. When I try to do the following in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom : # a) Do NOT load orinoco_pci/plx when we are using hostap driver # b) Do NOT load eepro100, 8139cp blacklist orinoco_pci blacklist orinoco_plx blacklist eepro100 blacklist 8139cp The eepro100 and 8139cp get blacklisted just fine but not the orinoco_pci, it always want to load itself. Because of this and the lack of WPA support in orinoco drivers the prism2 id:s should be removed from the orinoco drivers. To achieve security you have to run vpn over wireless when you use orinoco drivers. How the orinoco driver can be as _good_ as the hostap driver for the prism2 cards? I think hostap is a lot better. -- Best Regards, Jar
