I use the Cisco and Enterasys (Same as Orinoco) adapters with a Cisco 350 access point without a difference in speed. There may be some Aironet extensions that are helping the Cisco work better, but not sure about that. If your Cisco PC adapter is a 350 series, it has higher wattage output than the Orinoco. Compare your Signal-to-noise ratio's using each adapters client utility to determine if the signal is less effective in the Orinoco.

[7:50138] Hi, Has anyone hear tried using a Cisco 340 AP, and an Orinoco Silver or Gold card to connect to it? Cisco to Cisco works great, and Orinoco to Orinoco works great, but when I mix them, it works horrible. I can get a connection, and the Orinoco says it has an excellent signal. But, when surfing the web through the Aironet, it is incredibly slow. Websites that are mainly text come right up. But higher bandwidth websites won't load at all. I'm using the latest firmware in the Orinoco, and 8.55 on the Aironet. Thanks a million in advance for any advice. Regards, Confidential e-mail for addressee only.
