Stay away from USR cards in linux.  Support is just starting to creep in
throught the prism2 modules but I've yet to get it working on SuSE 8.0
and just barely on Mandrake 8.2.  Other than that, I've heard Orinoco is
good by word of mouth.
Also,  can someone please help me with the previously mentioned
problem?  My dmesg output follows.
init_module: prism2_cs.o: 0.1.13-devel1 Loaded
init_module: dev_info is: prism_cs
prism2_cs: CardServices release does not match!
p80211.o: 0.1.13-devel1 Unloaded

Can someone please helpp besides saying "buy a new card" which I have no
budget whatsoever for right now?
