Hi Mark-
Here is the thing. I have a classic Orinoco Gold card which has the
little box on the end which works really well in my laptop. I made a
mistake and ordered these new cards from Proxim which seem to have a
chipset which is "almost supported". I can insert the orinoco_cs driver
but dmesg shows that the driver does not load all the way. The gold
orinco care with the "Lucent Technologies" on the top work very well for
me.
I read on the wireless lists at sourceforge that they cards have
different chipsets so I think there are some basic differences between
these and the classic cards.
I'm using the classic card with a 2.4.21 kernel, BTW.
