Of all of the card/driver combos, I find the orinoco_cs to work the best out of all of them.

I've never had a single problem taking to any AP, iBSS or BSS mode.

Using kernel 2.4.18, patched (monitor mode patches from snax/airsnort) orinoco_cs .11b

However, it sucks with prism cards.

Could you provide more detail on what type of problems you've had?
