Re: 1400 & a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade

[Winston Smith]

Yeah, I know about the Penmachine site.  That's what made me wanna go 
wireless in the first place.  He's using a LinkSys (I believe) router 
though.  I emailed him and he couldn't really help me since he wasn't 
using Airport.  I followed the site exactly--- no go.  Are you running 
Airport?  Any help would be appreciated, I hate restarting my Airport 
this often.  Thanks

Not so.  Just got my "Dell" Truemobile 1150, installed it with the 
Orinoco 7.2 drivers and using 128bit encryption with no problems.  2 
great places to see how-tos are:

and

Check both of them out.  You will not be disappointed.  It was tricky 
trying to get the 128bit working, but it is going along just fine.  
Just make sure that you follow the 1st guide exactly.  Enable the WEP 
after everything is working, and go ahead and do it just as he says 
(extra caution, but gets the job done).  Wireless on a 1400, who would 
have guessed.  Also with a big fat blue "DELL" emblem on the side.  I 
love the quote from the description on Dell's site aboout this card.

"Dell created TrueMobile Wireless because we believe that once you've 
lived with wireless, you'll never know how you lived without it. The 
Dell TrueMobile 1150 PCMCIA wireless card gives you the freedom to use 
your computer virtually whenever you want, wherever you are. "

Dell created jack with this card.  They plastered a label on it and 
said, "MINE!"  As long as it works, no problem, right?

Now, if only I had a battery for the thing that lasted more than 10 
miniutes, I could go completely wireless.  Speaking of which.  Who has 
tried this ( http://wegenermedia.com/14xxbatt.htm ) battery?  How is 
the life on it, and any other issues?  $45 for a "new" 1400 battery!  
Best I have ever seen.  Makes me just a little suspicious.
