It would probably help if they weren't all from me. :)
I suppose I could create a .deb package for wlan-ng, but I'm
fuzzy on a few things:
1) What exactly does wlan-ng replace? It appears to replace
only part of the pcmcia-cs package.
2) Are the drivers from wlan-ng compatible with the existing
drivers from the pcmcia-cs package? IOW, could I just add
prism2_cs.o to the pcmcia-cs pacakge.
I don't actually know how to create .deb files, but I know
where the docs are (it can't be that much different than
creating RPM packages), and I'm going to need to do that
eventually anyway.
