Has anyone been able to use WPA with an 802.11b (original) AirPort  
card?  I don't see any applicable drivers when I run wpa_supplicant.   
I have airport, orinoco, and hermes in my "lsmod" so I guess hermes  
would work, but how do I get those drivers?  Do I rebuild the  
kernel?  A pcmcia package?  The wpasupplicant package?  I thought I  
also saw something about orinoco drivers but now I can't find it.  Do  
I need kernel 2.6?  Does kernel 2.6.16 handle USB probing better than  
2.6.8?  I tried booting 2.6.8 but it froze at the hardware detection  
step.
Thanks,
John
