With OpenSUSE 11.1 orinoco_cs is loaded instead of hostap_cs for my Prism based wireless card?
I thought I read the orinoco_cs driver was blacklisted? Anyway my wireless card does work fine. I just don’t understand why both drivers are loaded? I am happy to use the orinoco driver since it does work but would perfer to use hostap_cs. Note Puppy Linux uses hostap_cs and creates a wvlanX device instead of a ethX device.
Current driver:
:/sys/class/net/eth1/device/driver/module/drivers # ls
pcmcia : orinoco_cs
