Linux 2.6.15 includes Host AP driver, so I would assume that this module

kernel source code tree is the most recent version.

This has been discussed on the list number of times. I don't remember
the exact configuration on how to do this, but I would expect to be
available with a quick google search (disabling hermes/orinoco_cs).
