Which drivers to use?

Hi list,

when I plug me Linksys WPC11 car into my fedora box, the
following
modules load automatically:

hostap
hostap_cs
orinoco_cs
orinoco
hermes
ieee80211_crypt

I also have the wlan-ng package build which also loads the
prism2_cs
driver. First, I -- like my laptop -- am confused as to
which driver(s)
to use.

I want to be able to use my wireless connection for access.
I also want
to be able to switch my configuration to use Kismet.

So my first question is this: am I confusing my
configuration with all
of these modules?

Second, is there a simple tutorial for using the wlan-ng
prism2_cs
driver for monitoring, then a howto about switching back to
my wifi
network configuration?

Much
appreciated._______________________________________________

Use hostap_cs.  the *crypt* modules are for crypto support.

(add 'alias orinoco_cs off' to /etc/modprobe.conf)

There's no real reason to use linux-wlan-ng anymore unless
you're using 
a USB widget.

It's documented in the FAQ, I believe.
