Hey,
I've been looking at wireless PC cards so I can hook my 2400 into the office and home Airport networks. So far I've seen the Lucent "Orinoco" and Farallon "Skyline" models. Does anyone have experience with these? Is the cardbus mod required for something like this? Which ones do you guys prefer? Since my only experience with wireless is Airport, what software do you use with these on 8.6?
Thanks,
Larry
Larry, the Skyline card works great. I used it on my 2400. It comes with a CD that actually installs MAC OS drivers for this card. If I recall, it's the only non-airport card that has mac drivers. I do know that many here on the list have used the Lucent cards and use TomeViewer to strip out the correct driver, etc... to make it work. I haven't looked into it in a while, so maybe there are some other options out there.
My preference would be the Skyline card. I ran System 8.6 on my 2400 as it only had the 80 megs of ram.
You do not need a cardbus enabled 2400 in order to use a 802.11 card.
