Brendan, I'm sure that those who can answer your question will ask this, but: 1) Which model of PowerBook (Wallstreet, Lombard, Pismo, etc.) do you have? 2) How much RAM in it? 3) MacOS you're running (9.2.2, X.2.6, etc.)? 4) Any new software installed since last time you successfully used the Orinoco (including extensions installed)? 5) Have you tried the card in another PowerBook to see if it works in another? Those answers will help pinpoint the problem, hopefully. Jim Rohde -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
