Prism 2 Wireless under 2.6 kernel

[daniel_oxley at westlb-systems.co.uk]

the orinoco drivers that come with FC1 have been generic enough for me to
use with a few wireless cards.  they always fail to initialise upon boot
but when started manually, they are fine.

I updated my system to rawhide, and did a yum update, and rebooted to use
the new 2.6 kernel. Then I did "rpm --erase linux-wlan-ng". Then using the
GUI of system-config-network I added the wireless card as eth1, and
clicked "active".

It was surprising painless until it didn't work ;)
