It is a Lucent WaveLAN IEEE Silver. Not an Orinoco. A WaveLAN. Someone mentioned the deal at Small Dog and I jumped on it. It cost me $27 after shipping was factored in. After paying for the IOXperts driver, I only was set back $47. No worries. It would have been nice to know the super secret magick incantation to get the AirPort driver to recognize the card, as a few people here claim is a possibility. But the IOXperts driver works, I already paid for it, so basically that's about it for me. -.\\<-H- -- Michelle Klein-Hass Box 2273, Van Nuys, CA 91404-2273 Brought to you by Linux, KDE and KMail...try it, you'll like it! -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
