FYI this is not a MMCX connector but what's called an MC-Card connector.

I'm not eactly positive if it's polarized or not, I've only done it once. I think it is. if you buy the MMCX connector with the right angle connector you will not need to drill any holes in any plastic, but drilling works fine too and makes the pigtail removable if you need that. I've found this to be pretty handy and a cheap cutomer premise solution. good luck with the orinoco card, I've had small problems with drivers for the old silver cards, once I installed the most recent drivers, I was fine, but the client manager and windows didn't tell me anything was wrong in the first place. again good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Enrique LaRoche" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jim Aspinwall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 3:09 AM Subject: RE: [BAWUG] Orinoco Gold talking to LinkSys WAP11 - ?? > I just got an Orinoco gold card and set it up fine on win 98.
