I'm sorry for not submitting/CCing this to the orinoco mailing list, I
should have.

Well, that would be very nice, thanks!
But do you think that it will be enough? I mean, orinoco_{pci,plx,tdm}
exist only to support Prism2 chipsets.
HostAP a rather big and complete driver for Prism2/2.5/3.0 chipsets;
we're going to have another one based on the dscape stack too.
Do you think that there's a point on having the orinoco driver
supporting this chipset any more?
I don't mean to disrespect your work -- orinoco has served us for quite
a few years, but HostAP seems like a better alternative for these cards.
Please don't get offended by this -- I'm sure you've spent quite some
time on the particular code.
Regarding the disabling of IDs, I could prepare a patch for orinoco_cs
that would disable Prism2 support via a configuration option. Would that
be helpful/acceptable?
Best regards,
Faidon
