Here is the thing. I have a classic Orinoco Gold card which has the little box on the end which works really well in my laptop. I made a mistake and ordered these new cards from Proxim which seem to have a chipset which is "almost supported". I can insert the orinoco_cs driver but dmesg shows that the driver does not load all the way. The gold orinco care with the "Lucent Technologies" on the top work very well for me. I read on the wireless lists at sourceforge that they cards have different chipsets so I think there are some basic differences between these and the classic cards. I'm using the classic card with a 2.4.21 kernel, BTW. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not. There is no try. -Master Yoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lnxpowered.org
