Hi Rob,

I've never used the wlan-ng driver with my Prism2 cards since (1) the .
orinoco_cs driver works quite nicely for me and (2) I've heard that the
wlan-ng driver can be a pain to install.  So I have the following in my
/etc/pcmcia/config file (which is otherwise a stock KRUD 8.0 install):

  card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter"
    manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
    #eh3 bind "wvlan_cs"
    bind "orinoco_cs"

and it works quite nicely.  In fact, I'm using it to send this email
right now.

Ed
