Michael, I am getting mine soon hopefully, they are wonderful cards from what I have been told by a lot more then a handful of people, and that they are fairly simple to install on Linux.
Maybe some documentation that will help, looks thorough. http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Orinoco.html Then theres always O'Reilly... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2000/11/03/wavelan.html?page=2 (Watch for Linux header about 3/5ths down the page) Wish I had the hands on experience to help, but if your struggling still in about 3 weeks, I'll get back to you then (let's hope it doesn't take that long). -Mark On Fri, 11 Jul 2003 22:01:35 -0700 Michael Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone ever gotten one of these working?
