I'm desperately trying to get a Compaq/HP WL215 USB WLAN adapter (this
is basically the Orinoco one) to run under SuSE.

I've basically followed the instructions in
http://www.zdv.uni-mainz.de/1721.html (unfortunately, in German) -
apart from the manufacturer's code which is 0x49f/0x1f for this
device.

I can follow the instructions with no errors, however, dmesg just says
"USB device 3 2(vendor/prod0x49f/0x1f) is not claimed by any active
driver".

I'm relatively new to Linux so I'm probably doing something wrong...
but what? Are the instructions mentioned above complete?

Oh well, I had overlooked a compilation error, so orinoco_usb didn't get
compiled... the other modules did. I hacked the source so that orinoco.c
compiles but it still cannot be loaded (undefined references). This is
SuSE 8.1 BTW.

To be a little bit more exact, it's "unresolved symbol list_move".
