Laurent, Back from vacation I tried to replicate my problem with Safari. Low and behold, the problem has vanished. Have not done anything, except trying Safari with another user which at that time did not solve the problem. Many thanks, also to all others offering solutions.

Re: Explain the 802.11b Card Description
I previously wrote: A couple of people have recently mentioned the Lucent/Orinoco WiFi card available from http://www.wagenermedia.com. The card is described on their web-site as a 802.11DS RoamAbout card. What's a 802.11DS card? I know it's a wireless PCMCIA card. But what's the DS stand for? And I've seen the RoamAbout description before, but I'm not sure what exactly it refers to. Thanks to CJ, Andrew Kershaw and John Slavin for answering my questions about the 802.11DS standard and RoamAbout. For those who want to understand it a little better, I just ran across a .pdf file entitled wirelessnet.pdf which discusses RoamAbout networks in detail. I haven't had a chance to read it all yet, but I perused it sufficiently to learn the basics. You can DL the file at: http://ddi.cs.uni-potsdam.de/HyFISCH/Multimedia/Learning/funknetz/wir elessnet.pdf Just FWIW, it looks like the DS (Direct Sequencing) is **required** to be able to utilize the RoamAbout ability. I would think that anyone who has purchased one of the Orinoco DS cards, or is considering it, might want to take a look at this .pdf file to learn more about the concepts.

In case you missed it, Drew, Clyde Kahrl said he bought a couple of the Wegener cards recently. I don't know if this answers your transfer-rate question or not, but the above mentioned file states (the ** emphasis is mine): From the module-specific menu, choose Set Wireless Configuration, then choose Set Transmit Rate. The Auto Rate Select option **allows the Access Point to transmit at its highest supported transmit rate** and to switch to the next lower supported rate when data transmissions fail more than once. Perhaps if you're just using one WAP, you can use 11Mbit, but are choked back down if you want to move from WAP to WAP (i.e. RoamAbout). I dunno.

Re: Wireless Drivers For OS 9 OS X
Hi John. I beleave that is a Dell 1100 series card. I have one comming off ebay and will be testing it with the Cisco drivers. I wonder if I can update the Firmware to the latest version? Did not see any firmware updates on the Dell site. The best way to tell if its is a rebranded card is to check the FCC ID Number. Of course, if it says Air-PCM-xxx on the back label it is a Cisco. Both of the 340 series and 350 series were made without and with WEP. I got a 340 new in box last week,(Air-PCM-341 with 64WEP) Firmware way out of date. But all updates were on the Cisco web site. There software is not as user frendly as, say the Skyline, but it sure works. Great tools for testing the card too. Will let you know if it works, if you want. If you get a Cisco card or rebranded version, try to get the 350 series (Air-PCM-352) That will have the higher output (20dBm) and WEP 128. Best Regards Ken Vann Ken: You might take a look at the Dell Truemobile cards. There is a particular one, I forget which, that is a rebadge cisco card.

Re: Wireless Drivers For OS 9 OS X
Hi John. Well I got the Dell TruMobile 1100 Series in tonight. The back of the card was marked Cisco Systems, AIR-PCM340, then in small print AIR-PCM342. This one supports WEP 64/128. Was New In Box. It is a direct copy of the Cisco 340 I got last week. Came with firmware v3.93. I upgraded it to v5.30.17 and it took off like a champ. Good contact with the Airport Base Station I have. In the Cisco Control Panel, the only difference I could see is the product name listed in the Advanced Configurations selection,in the Status pannel. The Cisco AIR-PCM341 list its Product Name as 340 series The Dell 1100, AIR-PCM342 list its Product Name as PC4800B Other than that, the cards work identical. Test with OS 9.2.1 on a Wallstreet II (PDQ). If you want to get one, check with the seller for the small print on the back of the card. Make sure your get the 342 or 352 version. The last digit on the number indicates WEP, with a 0 being No WEP 1 being 64 WEP 2 being 128 WEP The 340 Series is rated at the same transmit power level as the Orinoco cards (15dBm), while the 350 Series has a more powerful transmiter (20dBm). By the way, the FCC ID # on both cards is LDK102038, so if you find another card with this ID #, then it's a OEM of the Cisco card and should work on a Macintosh. Well, I guess I will go to the local user group Thrusday and show them a Dell Wireless card in a Apple PowerBook. Hope this information helps.

Re: Explain the 802.11b Card Description
At 6:15 PM -0400 9/7/04, Kenneth Vann wrote: I think the terms DS and High Rate, are marketing fluff. Maybe back in 1997 it was the older standard, but now its is WiFi Certified as a 802.11b. Well the DS is more than fluff. Distributed Spread Spectrum is a technical term used to describe how most 802.11b stuff works. Frequency hopping was used at one point but is more or less gone now. So if you also saw 802.11FH it would be a technical distinction rather than marketing fluff. Seeing as this RoamAbout Card sounds kind of old then the DS would be a quite relevant description. Check out this specification of the RoamAbout Card http://www.enterasys.com/support/manuals/hardware/4062_03.pdf Or the full product catalogue at http://www.enterasys.com/products/product-catalog.pdf The sample I have has the following Firmware: Hardware: v4.0 Primary Firmware: v4.4 Station Firmware: v8.35 Every card I have tested so far had a Primary Firmware and Station Firmware as listed above. The only one I have not tested is a Proxim Orinoco Clasic Gold Card. I will borrow one next week and add that to my list. The Firmware information should end up in my FAQ that I am working on. Here is a snip from the last Firmware Update listed on the Proxim Wireless site for the Proxim Orinoco Clasic Gold Card. -- -- 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...
