1 First of all, the best thing would be that this driver becomes obsolte by
2 adding support for Hermes II and Hermes II.5 cards to the existing orinoco
3 driver. The orinoco driver currently only supports Hermes I based cards.
4 Since this will not happen by magic and has not happened until now this
5 driver provides a stop-gap solution for these type of cards.
7 Having said that, the following wishlist comes to mind to make the driver
8 suitable as fully supported kernel driver. Feel free to expand/enhance the
12 - verify against a Hermes II.5 card
13 - verify with WPA encription (both with H2 and H2.5 cards)
14 - sometimes the card does not initialize correctly, retry mechanisms
15 are build in to catch most cases but not all
16 - once the driver runs it is very stable, but I have the impression
17 some the crittical sections take to long
18 - the driver is split into a Hermes II and a Hermes II.5 part, it
19 would be nice to handle both with one module instead of two
20 - review by the wireless developer community
21 - verify the code against the coding standards for a proper linux
23 - resolve license issues (?)
26 - verified against a Hermes II card (Thomson Speedtouch 110 PCMCIA
28 - verified with WEP encription

32 Don't bother the upstream wireless kernel developers about it, they
33 want nothing to do with it.
