Is there a way to tell if my Lucent Tech Orinoco Silver card is good or not? I put it in my PB 2400c (with airport and/or orinoco drivers) it is never found and it also never lights up. Looks like there's 2 lights on the unit. I would suspect that one is power and the other is activity. Is this right? I put it in my PB 15" G4 (for a test) and system profiler sees it and identifies it correctly, but again no lights come on. Does this mean the card is bad or am I missing something? Of course, the software that came with it is PC only. Thanks.
Yes, the lights are power and activity. Power won't go on until you activate the card.
What OS is on the PB G4. If it's OS X it won't see the card unless you installed one of the third party drivers. The stock Airport driver won't see it. If it's OS 9 then, yes the Airport driver should see it. Do other PC Cards work in the PB 2400c. It's possible it doesn't have the PC Card software installed. Does the 2400's System Profiler see the card?
To power on the card you need to manually turn it on using the appropriate software.
