Can anyone help me decide if I need to install linux-wlan-ng?

I am using sys-kernel/ac-sources and it seems to have drivers for my
laptop's builtin wireless card:

orinoco_pci             3364   0  (unused)
orinoco                36012   0  [orinoco_pci]
hermes                  6340   0  [orinoco_pci orinoco]

do the linux-wlan-ng drivers do something that the default drivers
don't?
do you have to do anything other than re-emerge linux-wlan-ng after you
rebuild the kernel?

Any comments or pointers appreciated, I've never messed with wireless
before. At this point I'm still trying to figure out the difference
between all the WAP models out there.
