The 5300 will work with the Lucent / Orinoco card. I just set one up using an Orinoco Silver and the Orinoco drivers. I think it's Lucent that has a driver for 68040 machines (PB190 and PB500 series with card slot adapter). -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
