Upgrade Orinoco OEM card, Was Re: Pismo wireless questions
Would it be possible to use the Airport Base Station to up upgrade a OEM version (Dell, Sony, IBM, ect) of the Orinoco Silver Card? I am assuming that one would need a Snow Base Station. Perhaps using a Graphite would upgrade an OEM card to one that is listed as a Silver card. The Orinoco software will list the card as a Gold/Silver or third party. Any info or links would be helpful. I have both a Graphite and Snow I can use.

Yes. You can upgrade it to 'Gold status that way, although getting it in an iBook is a pain, an Airport Base station is easier. == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Yes, 802.11b is 802.11b...the Silver card needs to use the 64n Bit WEP key, not the 128 bit one. 5. If I have this card and buy an Airport Base station with the modem included, is there anything else I would need to buy to connect to a dial in internet connection? Thanks. Nope, that's how I'm sending this right now, save I'm using a Airport card. The Orinoco card I have is used in my 5300. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig that says 'NI!' -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
