Try looking for forums for newbies porting various drivers to ARM. You
may also want to send a detailed problem report to Agere developers.
Make sure you describe what you expect, what you do and what you get.
Include versions of all relevant software (kernel, driver, compiler).
As for the Orinoco driver, it should be portable, but it lacks firmware
download capabilities (except spectrum_cs, which is Symbol specific). I
cannot promise it will be added soon, but it can be done if needed. If
you really need it for business, consider hiring a specialist. I wrote
spectrum_cs in two weeks.
Please don't toppost, it's hard to quote. Following was written by me:

$41 "buy it now" on eBay.
