I'm very happy to do that. By upstream do you mean the CVS version from
here? http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=orinoco

Otherwise the latest driver seems to be 0.15rc2 which was released on
2004/07/28 which doesn't seem  very upstream to me! (BTW, how do you
determine which version of the drivers is in pcmcia-cs package?)

Are there any tips to installing from source over drivers from an RPM?
If the upstream driver won't work what's the best way to rollback to
what I'm currently using, and how do I ensure that a yum upgrade doesn't
overwrite what I have from source?

Best, Darren
