If I remember correctly you can use your Dell card with the Airport
software and drivers. i haven't tried it lately.
If I get a chance in the next few days. I will dig out my card and
try it.
You do not say what your hard drive capacity is, but if you have
upgraded to a larger drive you can install both OS and dual boot it.
I am not familiar with (Protected Extensible Authentication
Protocol), so cannot address that issue.

Greetings. I have a PowerBook 2400c, running OS 8.6. I have a Dell
TrueMobile Gold wireless pc card (that supports 128-bit WEP
encryption), running ORiNOCO driver v.7.2. I am successfully
running wireless on my secure network at home.
My college, however, recently switched to a secure (closed)
wireless network that utilizes certificates, 802.1x authentication
and PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). I am no
longer able to access the network with my current hardware/software
configuration, and am definitely sensing the limits of my trusty
2400 in this environment. The college is not a Mac-friendly
environment in general, though I have successfully assisted
students with PowerBooks and iBooks running OS X and AirPort to get
on this closed network with little problem.
I know AirPort support was introduced with OS 9. But I don't know
whether my TrueMobile card is supported within AirPort. It may be
time to jump into the 21st century...once the non-Pro version of
the Mac Book is released. But before I bail, I was wondering if
there is a known work-around, third-party utility, firmware update,
etc. that would enable me to join this closed network with these
added layers of security/authentication?
Thanks for your assistance.
