Hello everyone. Before you purchase any Orinoco card to use on the Mac, download the Orinoco Selection Guide. Only the 8410-wd and 8410-jp (Orinoco Classic Gold Cards) support the Mac under the Classic OS, and the Sourgeforce driver supports this card under OS X. PC Cards are price sensative and vendors do change chip sets in order to shave pennies from the cost of manfacturing. A good example is Belkin taking the 802.11g card which used the Broadcom Chip set and replacing it with a Ralink Technologh Inc chip set. While there web site still list it a Mac compatabe (using Airport Software under OS X) the new ones comming off the assembly line are not and need aditional software. I will see that this link is put on my Wireless FAQ site.
