Summary: wlan-ng scripts ignore module parameters

Initial Comment:
I am running a Bering wireless / wired router on an old
486 laptop with 5V-only PCMCIA socket. Some of the WLAN
cards are buggy (e.g. the D-Link DWL-650) and need a
module parameter to be able to work in this
environment. As I historically have better experience
with wlan-ng, I am using it.

The problem is that there is no clean way to specify a
module parameter to a prism_* module - the
etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng_pre-up only does 
WLAN_MOD=prism2_cs
...
if ! insmod $WLAN_MOD; then
...

I hardcoded the parameter in the script, but I don't
know Bering good enough to know whether there is a
clean and consistent way to solve this (package
configuration etc.). I have the feeling that not using
modules.conf (in general) nor pcmcia autoloading of
modules (in wlan-ng) can cause more troubles like this.

Thanks for the good work - a few hours after learning
that something like Bering exists I have a working
setup. It is unbelievable what can be stuffed on one
floppy :-)
