Actually the original manufacture of the Orinoco cards was Lucent.
Agere was "spun off" from Lucent back in the early days of the 21st
Century, around the same time they spun off Avaya.

Getting back to Brians original question, I'm using an IBM A/B/G card
which uses the Atheros chipset, and the madwifi driver. I'm using wpa
at home and it's working great with NetworkManager now that Ubuntu
Dapper supports it.
