[olug] Wireless card for Dell 8100

[Mac Petras]

In case anyone cares.....

I had an SMC 2832W card ar the Installfest. Worked like a champ
on my laptop running RH9. It used the "default" orinco driver.

Don't know if this card is still available, but I'd bet the newer
version works just as well......
