	No, the Prod IDs are different (see previous e-mail). But the
issue is that those card have some many ProdID that we don't have a
compelete list (and probably never will - the *.conf file only scratch
the surface), and so it's better to use the manfid to make sure to not
miss any cards. It's an acceptable tradeof.
	But, that does not totally solve the issue, as the Orinoco
driver has to include all the IDs of device supported by HostAP.

	Yeah, it's messy. That's why I believe we will never do the
perfect job and will have to live with manual overrides.
