The device is an "Avaya Wireless USB Card", (0xD98/0x300), which
according to http://www.orinoco.host.sk/ is an "ORiNOCO USB variant 1"
adapter with an "ORiNOCO Classic PCMCIA" inside, i.e. Hermes-I chipset.

Its Vendor 0xD98 Pid 0x300, and I'm using it successfully on my SuSE
10.1 install, with Øystein's RPMs, so I guess it's supported :)

Okey, great. Thanks! Now for question no. 3:
3) Will orinoco-usb from SVN compile against a 2.4.30 kernel, and if
not, is there some fundamental reason why it won't? Or is it just an
issue of some small fixes?
The reason I'm asking is because OpenWrt, the linux distribution I run
on my Asus router, uses an 2.4.30 kernel, so this is what I need to
compile against.

Ah, sorry, my use of 'porting' in this case means "getting it to work on
a device that seems very different from my PC" ;) I'm thinking of the
fact that the Asus router has a 2.4.30 kernel, a minimal Linux install,
a MIPS architecture, and so on.
I've set up a coss-compile toolchain for the Asus, so i have gcc, a
linker, and so on for it, but I just wanted to check if it's remotely
possible to get it to compile before I start scratching my head over
compile errors :)
Thanks again for getting back to me!
