Subject: confirmation about firmware 1.7.4

Hi Jun,
 I can confirm that firmware 1.7.4 supports WPA and hiding ESSID.
Hardware is an OEMized PCMCIA Senao SL-2511 CD PLUS running in a Linux Mint
box with 2.6.20-16-generic kernel (unloading orinoco_cs module and loading
hostap_cs)
wpa_supplicant v0.5.5 MUST be used with "wext" driver.
