[ltp] Fedora/2.4.22/wireless update

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

I've been happily running Fedora with the project's 2.4.22 stock kernel
for some time now on my T40, and the only issue left unresolved for
me is the mini-PCI wireless.  Wondering if someone can give me an
update on whether they've got this working with the stock kernel for
the Cisco card, and a summary on what works/doesn't with the other
available miniPCI cards.

I ordered my T40 purposefully with the Cisco miniPCI aironet 350
card because I knew it was supported, and it worked fine on Red Hat
9 for kernels 2.4.20 and .21 with both the ugly Cisco mpi350 module +
custom software and Fabrice Bellet's more elegant changes to airo_mpi.
As described earlier here on the list, Fabrice's changes don't
currently work for Ad-Hoc mode (any update on this?) which I need,
and I can't get the Cisco mpi350 module + software to work at all.
I'd really like to do this with the stock kernel: much saved update
time later.

So, has anyone else managed to get this card working on the Fedora
stock kernel?  Does anyone know if this is a 2.4.22 problem (the lack
of Ad-Hoc mode support) or something Red Hat did?

Secondly, can someone tell me if either the Intel or IBM 802.11a/b(/g?)
cards are now working in 2.4.22?  I'm confused with all the different
projects to get this working: does madwifi now make the IBM card
work ok on a T40?  Are there any catches?  Does Ad-Hoc/WEP work ok?
Would I need a custom kernel?  Does it work in the faster modes (a/g)
too, or only b?  Any of these answers would be helpful!

Finally, do either or both these faster cards work with the pay-for 
Linuxant:

and/or free NDIS wrapper:

solutions to using native Windows drivers on Linux?

Any answers to any of these would be appreciated!
