As it turns out, there are two cards with the same ID (0x0089, 0x0001) but
different version strings.  One is Intel PRO/Wireless 2011, supported by
orinoco_cs.  The other is Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B, supported by spectrum_cs. 
So, we need a better fix.

Also, I see that many cards listed in hermes.conf from Orinoco CVS haven't made
it to the ID table in orinoco_cs.c.  I'm making a bigger table to include all
cards from Orinoco, HostAP and linux-wlan-ng.

In the meantime, the 3/8 patch could be dropped.
