Thanks to Pavel Roskin and Richard Chan, my Compaq W200 wireless LAN adapter is now working in Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).

Pavel Roskin recently updated the orinoco_usb branch to utilise the latest kernel API. The only other thing that needs modifying so it works with Feisty’s 2.6.20 kernel is orinoco.c (credit to Richard Chan):

The wireless is working wonders now! Thanks to both of you!
