orinoco/proxim/agere wireless pc card

[Mark Barnes <mbarnes@eskimo.com>]

I have a model 8420-WD card labeled Orinoco, sold by Proxim, and with
a chip from Agere Systems.  I had given up on this card, but recently
stumbled across a driver at www.greenblaze.com/proxim.html.  This
driver is also available at www.agere.com/support/drivers/ I
downloaded the driver and read the included file README.wlags49, but
had no luck compiling the driver.  My impression is that the
instructions are for a redhat system.  Has anyone successfully
compiled/installed/used this driver on a debian system?  I'm using
woody with a 2.4.18 kernel.
