Wait, as kernel 2.6.14 has these config options now

CONFIG_IEEE80211
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP

and if the orinoco driver supported (or even already supports thsi
framework ?!) it would work as this is done in software IIUC or is this
a hardware limitation ?
