[ECOS] Prism2 on iPaq linux

It's me again...
I'm getting a bit far afield of RedBoot/ECOS issues here; if I'm in the wrong
place to be asking about Linux on iPaq let me know.

I'm using a 2.4.4-rmk3-np1 kernel kindly provided by Gary Thomas.  The root
image he provided is missing the orinoco_cs.o (and hermes.o) modules.  Maybe
that was deliberate because they don't work? :)  I built those modules
out of a 2.4.4-rmk3-np1 tree from handhelds.org and copied them over
(also ds.o and pcmcia_core.o).  The cardmgr doesn't seem to support
'orinoco' as a module name, so I changed it to 'prism2'.  My reading suggests
that they changed the name of this driver recently?  I'm unclear.  Loading
the card gets:

bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=0
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=1
bitsy_pcmcia_configure_socket: socket=0 vcc=50 vpp=50 reset=0
cardmgr[59]: initializing socket 0
cardmgr[59]: socket 0: D-Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card
cardmgr[59]: executing: 'modprobe prism2_cs'
hermes.c: 12 Dec 2000 David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
dldwd: David's Less Dodgy WaveLAN/IEEE Driver
cardmgr[59]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable


(Other sources on the net claim that the wvlan_cs.o driver supports prism2
cards, but that yields a kernel oops...)

The exact card is a D-Link DWL-650.

Any advice?

Thanks
david
