The opposite is true.  In addition to Prism chipsets with Intersil
firmware, the Orinoco driver supports cards with Hermes (but not Hermes 2)
chipset (Lucent/Agere firmware) and Spectrum24 chipsets 2.5 and 3 (Symbol
firmware).

I have committed the fix for WEP to the CVS version of the Orinoco driver.
It should be working now.  I'll appreciate if future bugreports are sent
to the appropriate mailing lists instead of being mentioned in passing
elsewhere.  I know, it takes more time, but it increases chances to have
the problem fixed.

Thanks to Jouni for fixing reference counting on crypto modules in HostAP.

I hope we'll stop this explosive thread at this point and go to doing "so
freaking easy things" :-)
