Original Message: -----------------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, LarryFrom: Mark Semon [EMAIL PROTECTED]Not So.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 have a Cisco Aironet 340 series card that has drivers for Mac OS 8.6-9.22
and OS X! it works great and the utilities that come with it are top notch
as you would expect from Cisco. The 340/350 series is EOL so there are many
of them making there way into the distribution chanels right now and if you
look around you can find them under $50
I have an AVAYA Branded Orinoco Gold card that I grabed off of eBay a while
back for under $60 that uses the Orinoco drivers.
And of course there are the cards from the likes of MacWireless.com and
Buffalo that also have Mac Drivers
The nice thing about the Lucent cards is that you can run them with theI 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.
Apple Airport software so they will likely be supported for some time to
come and you won't have to go hunting up new versions of the software.
The Skyline card is great if you never intend to use it with another MacMy preference would be the Skyline card. I ran System 8.6 on my 2400 as it only had the 80 megs of ram.
and OS X, since Farralon has said that there will be no X update for that
card.
Aloha, KenYou do not need a cardbus enabled 2400 in order to use a 802.11 card.
