    [PATCH] Orinoco: ignore_disconnect flag · 7bb7c3a3

      Adds an ignore_disconnect module parameter.  When enabled, the driver
      will continue attempting to send packets even when the firmware has
      told us we've lost our link to the AP.  On some firmwares this
      substantially increases the usable range of the card (presumably
      because we have an interrmittent connection, but the firmware is able
      to queue the packets for us until we're connected again).  On some
      other cards, it causes the firmware to fall in a screaming heap :(
      (hence, default off).
