Ah-ha, I had tested the wrong card.
I also have a Sitecom card, which matches this ident you remove in your patch..
PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0xd601, 0x0002), /* Safeway 802.11b, ZCOMAX
AirRunner/XI-300 */
pccardctl ident shows it as:
Socket 0:
product info: " ", "IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN/PC Card", "", ""
manfid: 0xd601, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
Under hostap, it's a brick, it won't even report any scanning results.
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0

With orinoco however, it works just fine..
(Asides from the irritating feature of orinoco that the interface has to be 'up'
before an iwlist scanning works)

So with your patch, this card will become totally useless to me.
