When will Debian have a package that fixes this problem with Hermes and 
Prism cards, the orinoco driver that is default (i think) is not 
updated, the Prism2 card that i have shall work with a newer orinoco 
driver but i'm to green to install and get drivers working, every time i 
try i end up with no network so now im sticking to the slow orinoco 
driver. couldnt anyone otherwise make a really good step by step guide 
to install one of the workink drivers for Hermes and Prism cards.
