[ltp] Cisco Aironet on IBM T30

[Christopher Gavin]

Incidentally, I was quite freaked out to find that a 2.4.18 kernel modprobed 
for and successfully configured a card you are supposed to need drivers for 
(I havent been anywhere near Cisco's site) and which is listed in the 2.4.21 
src tree as "NEW".

?
