I guess "improved" is somewhat subjective. It doesn't work with my card :-(

The wvlan_cs driver is in the current pcmcia-cs package, but isn't built with
"make all." I'm "just an end user" so I am not really cut out for figuring
out how to build it manually.

Too bad there is no pcmcia-cs mailing list :-(

Guess I'll stick with the working stuff that came with my distro and try the
main tree kernel again around 2.4.21.
