+First of all, the best thing would be that this driver becomes obsolte by
+adding support for Hermes II and Hermes II.5 cards to the existing orinoco
+driver. The orinoco driver currently only supports Hermes I based cards.
+Since this will not happen by magic and has not happend until now this
+driver provides a stop-gap solution for these type of cards.
+
+Having said that, the following wishlist comes to mind to make the driver
+suitable as fully supported kernel driver. Feel free to expand/enhance the
+list.
+
+TODO:
+ - verify against a Hermes II.5 card
+ - verify with WPA encription (both with H2 and H2.5 cards)
+ - sometimes the card does not initialize correctly, retry mechanisms
+ are build in to catch most cases but not all
+ - once the driver runs it is very stable, but I have the impression
+ some the crittical sections take to long
+ - the driver is split into a Hermes II and a Hermes II.5 part, it
+ would be nice to handle both with one module instead of two
+ - review by the wireless developer community
+ - verify the code against the coding standards for a propper linux
+ driver
+ - resolve license issues (?)
+
+DONE:
+ - verified against a Hermes II card (Thomson Speedtouch 110 PCMCIA
+ card)
+ - verified with WEP encription
+
+Please send any patches or complaints about this driver to Greg
+Kroah-Hartman <greg at kroah.com> and Cc: Henk de Groot <pe1dnn at amsat.org>
+Don't bother the upstream wireless kernel developers about it, they
+want nothing to do with it.
