I've got a Proxim Orinoco Gold USB adapter, model B11FNF-USB, FCC ID
HZB B11FNFUSB. It appears to be a rebranded Ambit USB adapter, using a Prism3 chipset. It might
not be far from working with the orinoco drivers, but I'm not sure how
to measure that. So far, I've got the latest Orinoco drivers from CVS,
and some firmware extracted from files on the CD that came with the
adapter. I've added the following line to prism_usb.c to make the
driver try to pick up the adapter:
diff -u -r1.4 prism_usb.c

When I plug it in, the dmesg says:
