I am not sure if it is an issue with the gold card, or if it affects the
pci version of the cards, but the orinoco name was attached to several
cards.  This seems not to be a problem until Proxim started making them
and came out with Rev.4.  This one had an Agere chipset that has no
support from the in-kernel drivers.  There is _supposedly_ one driver
that can be downloaded from Agere for the 2.4.x kernels, but I could not
compile it.  Stay the hell away from the proxim cards.

Don't worry.  Life's too long.
