Finally got a Wireless card that works!!
Thought I had one with a Netgear but nothing - not even the driver
that Orange have developed
Anyway, I got a Belkin card from eBay following info from the list re
drivers etc. - Thanks all
Of course all the manuals for card and router (Belkin 54g and BT
Voyager 2110) are windows based so with a bit of fiddling and a lot of
trial and error I have it up and running. Not had much use out of it
yet as I only got it sorted last night and I'm away for the weekend
now and won't have time to try it further. But last night I was able
to email from my bed without a load of cables running all over the
place and this morning I checked my eBay and email from the kitchen
whilst I made breakfast.
Why didn't I go wireless before?
Now after looking at the excellent page on WiFiing older PB's I'm
after a card for my PB 1400 - but that's for another list ;-)
Cheers all
Ian
For those that wish to know I can confirm that the current version of
the Linksys wpc54gs card works fine with the Airport software, no
additional drivers required. Version 1 of wpc54g card also works fine
but the Version 2 card does not as it does not have the Broadcom chipset
in it. The advantage of this card over all the others is WPA support,
the IOExpert and Orange drivers currently only support WEP
Cheers
