I bought an ORiNOCO 8461-05 802.11 a/b Combo Card Silver. Anybody know if this one should theoretically work or not?
Vikki Duggan suggested:Go on to the low end mac sight! and go to the 1400 powerbook page. Then
scroll down to the wireless part and click on the link and the orinoco
installer image is on the page halfway down.
Thanks for the tip, Vikki. I did this, but it still doesn't recognize the card. Also, thanks to Ben Dyer, Tom Peterson, Shawn Harley for chipping in. FWIW the card does mount (either installed at boot up or inserted after boot). The ORiNOCO software (and Airport) simply doesn't see the card. I'll still keep trying. Something tells me I shoulda' just bought the last of the new iBook G3 from Macmall for $699.
Have you tried the ioxperts software i use this for the intel proxim card that i run in a 3400c and that also recognises the Orinoco card on the wallstreet that i have.
Just so that i do not confuse people here . i have a lombard that i use for out and about with an Orinoco gold card, a 3400 fitted with a intel proxim card that my daughter uses. and a wallstreet that is upstairs as a normal eveyone in the house computer fitted with a second Orinoco card.
if you do a google for wireless 802.11b drivers it should bring up a lot of pages some are free download and some are shareware fee.
