Is anyone using USB WiFi devices with Fedora? I have a Lucent/Orinoco USB Gold Client, I have been looking at the "Linux driver for Lucent/Agere ORiNOCO USB devices" by Øystein Olsen at <http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/orinoco-usb/>, and have downloaded the Fedora-3 RPM. Unfortunately, I find some of the instructions rather confusing. (1) It says that "The orinoco-usb driver is for now only available from cvs". But I can't find an orinoco-usb CVS. Does this mean the orinoco CVS? In any case, since there is an orinoco-usb rpm. I assume there must be a separate CVS for this application. Is this a misunderstanding? Or if not, where is the orinoco-usb CVS? (2) It says in the introudction In <http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/orinoco-usb/index.html> "The orinoco-usb driver is for now only available from cvs. I put together this page to simplify the building and installation of the driver. The driver and script to build the driver, are all available from the RPMS directory." I don't understand this; if the driver is only available from cvs then what is the RPM? (3) Later on the same page, it says "April 2005 Thanks to a tip from Martin Visser, the firmware package is no longer necessary. The firmware is hard-coded into the driver instead. In short if you use a driver which is newer that April 4th 2005 or if you use build-source.sh, you can safely ignore all instructions related to the firmware and hotplug." But where exactly does one find a driver newer than April 4th 2005? Any suggestions or advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
