PC Card manager, iirc, is the PC card extension in the System folder. I suspect, from their list that they mean you need a Cardbus PC slot. I've gotten tantalizingly close to getting the 540c (8.1) to recognize and work with the Orinoco, even gotten so far as having a second network interface recognized in TCP/IP control panel, but it doesn't work (drivers come up with X's in them during startup) The tech from Orinoco confirms that they were supposed to work with the 540. (it's even mentioned in the installer) I was advised to do a firmware upgrade on the Orinoco card, but haven't gotten time on a PC laptop to play with it (the firmware upgrade is a PC app.) We might be getting some wireless base stations here at the College to work with. When we do I'll be a little more motivated to get it working. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
