Hi Gary,

I would be happy to donate a high-quality Orinoco card, if that helps.

Sincerely,

Well, it used to, but the latest rev of the CWP-854 evidently uses a
Ralink chip that requires a firmware blob.  As I understand it, the
Atheros HAL was released under a free license a few days after I
wrote the text above, so maybe we can change back to an Atheros-
based wireless card some day (or put the server somewhere that it
can be plugged in to a wire).  Switching back to an Atheros card
will require purchasing a new wireless card because the one balrog
was using is no longer functional.
