Yup. I think you are missing that comma there.
Here is more more rationale:
- - If you use the old wavelan driver, it will work on the Orinoco cards,
but not work on any prism2 cards
- - If you use the old prism2 driver, it will work on prism2 cards (Samsung
etc), but will not work on Orinoco cards.
Not that I'm complaining. I personally think Orinoco cards are MUCH better
than Prism2 ones.
