One thing that you have to keep in mind is that the core of the card is the chipset in it and what the software really use is that chipset. I've seen this factor being a bigger problem when somebody wrote an Apple Newton driver for wireless cards. The driver was designed for a specific chipset which was used when AirPort was initially released. Over the years, manufacturers will replace the chipset for another one but the cards will often still have the same label, just the revision number will change. That's probably what is happening here. Even though the card has the ORiNOCO label on it, it probably uses a different chipset than the original ORiNOCO... -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
