Description of problem:
I've just gone through the somewhat painful process of creating a Red
Hat-compatible SPEC file for the "linux-wlan-ng" package.  (See
http://www.linux-wlan.org.)  These drivers are a bit of a pain to use,
because they don't support the standard wireless extensions, so they
can't be configured with iwconfig.  However, they do seem to be the
most functional drivers available for 802.11b cards based in Intersil
PRISM chips (which seems to be most of them).

Building the drivers requires access to both a configured kernel 
source tree and a configured pcmcia-cs source tree.  I thought of
building them as a subpackage of kernel-pcmcia-cs, but that doesn't
really make sense, as the package also includes drivers for PCI and
USB adapters.  I also wanted the RPM version to accurately reflect the
driver version.

I finally ended up modifying the kernel-pcmcia-cs SPEC file to build a
pcmcia-cs-source package, with the configured source in /usr/src.  It
strikes me that this might be useful for just about anyone building or
packaging a PCMCIA card driver.
