Hey, I am back from vacation. I just found a great site with driver and instructions for the Orinoco card at the University of Michigan Law School. ,http://www.law.umich.edu/currentstudents/informationtechnology/wireless/dri vers.html> It's the same driver I downloaded before but it has detailed instructions (a Word document) as another download on the page. Valid Operating Systems: 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.5.5, 7.6, and 7.6.1 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, 8.5.1 and 8.6, 9.0 Maybe this will help us. Donna Pointer-- iMac, ergo iAm
