Any good news re NetworkManager for Intersil Prism 2 users on FC4?

[D. D. Brierton]

I'm using FC4 and *really* want to try the new NetworkManager 0.5.0.
However, in the past I haven't been able to use NetworkManager because
the orinoco_cs driver for Intersil Prism 2 cards didn't support scanning
and various other things that NM needs. I've kept hearing for ages now
that the latest versions of the driver will work with NM, but are those
drivers in the latest FC4 kernels? I'm on kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.i686.
How can I determine which version of the orinoco_cs driver I have?

*If* the drivers I have are kosher, what steps do I have to take to use
NM? I assume that I have to enable the NetworkManager and
NetworkManagerDispatcher services, but which services which currently
start network interfaces do I have to *disable*. Do I have to do
anything with system-config-network (i.e. delete the network interfaces
from it)?

TIA.

Best, Darren
