[Orinoco-users] How do I get a card officially added to orinoco_cs.c

[John Ruschmeyer]

I have what appears to be an OEM version of the Zcom XI-300 which is
identical to the normal version except for its device id. These were sold
cheaply by TigerDirect a few years back.

If I add an entry for it to orinoco_cs.c, it works fine, but I'd like to see
it added "officially" to the driver.

Here is the output from `cardctl ident`:

product info: " ", "IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN/AP Card", ""
manfid: 0xd601, 0x0003
function: 6 (network)

After adding it to orinoco_cs.c and rebuilding the driver, it is detected
correctly. Here is the dmesg output:

Is there someone I can send this info to in order to get the card added?

Thanks...

Considering the the string ID looks so sloppy, I think it's a safe bet
to use the numeric ID.

I've committed the change to the Subversion repository. It will be
pushed upstream after Linux 2.6.19 release.
