This seems a litle bit complicated (where to put these commands? How to automate
this?) for ordiray user to do. So in practice "ordiray user" who just plugs Prism
card in always ends up to use orinoco_cs although he actually should use hostap_cs
for better performance?

The selection between hostap_pci and orinoco_pci is easier. Jus put orinoco_pci to
the /etc/hotplug/blacklist (the file already exists). Could this kind of blacklist
be usefull for pcmcia cards also?
