My comments echo Bjorn's exactly and !!!!!!!!!!! ... it works. I'll still have to fiddle with the actual driver but it talks to the access point (a D-LINK 1000AP, if anyone cared) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get this on /var/log/message:

Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: wvlan_cs: WaveLAN/IEEE PCMCIA driver v1.0.6
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: wvlan_cs: (c) Andreas Neuhaus <andyfasta.fh-dortmund.de>
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: wvlan_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 3.3, irq 3, io 0x0180-0x01bf
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: wvlan_cs: Registered netdevice eth0
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: wvlan_cs: MAC address on eth0 is 00 40 05 de cf d0
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: wvlan_cs: This is LinkSys/D-Link card, not a Wavelan IEEE card :-(
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: You may want report firmare revision (0x7) and what the card support.
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: I will try to make it work, but you should look for a better driver.
Mar 11 07:49:39 bike kernel: bridge-eth0: set IFF_PROMISC

and it does load the wavelan driver, not the D-Link/prism driver:

2 % lsmod
Module Size Used by
wvlan_cs 22560 1 <<<<<<<<<<<
ds 6408 2 [wvlan_cs]
i82365 22296 2
pcmcia_core 45440 0 [wvlan_cs ds i82365]
vmnet 16160 5
vmppuser 5508 0 (unused)
parport_pc 7300 0 [vmppuser]
parport 7312 0 [vmppuser parport_pc]
vmmon 17728 1
soundcore 2596 0 (autoclean) (unused)
nfsd 142372 8 (autoclean)
lockd 30696 1 (autoclean) [nfsd]
sunrpc 52292 1 (autoclean) [nfsd lockd]
nls_cp437 3872 1 (autoclean)
msdos 5372 1 (autoclean)
fat 29280 1 (autoclean) [msdos]

and in fact it still refuses to load the prism driver, even explicitly after unloading the wvlan driver, citing the same unresolved symbols that I mentioned before:

2 % insmod p80211
Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: unresolved symbol netlink_kernel_create
/lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: unresolved symbol netlink_broadcast

!!BUT!! I CAN use it (albeit vurrah vurrah slowly - ~15kB/s via ftp). !!! and even slow is better than no.

Thanks!
