Re: Wireless Drivers For OS 9 OS X
Thanks for the info. I was able to flash a Dell TrueMobile 1100 series with the Cisco Firmware and it works great with the Mac drivers from Cisco.

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 I got a 340 new in box last week,(Air-PCM-341 with 64WEP) Firmware way out of date.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: Wireless Drivers For OS 9 OS X
Lots of good info snipped Ken, I've been told that the Sourceforge open source driver was licensed to, and is now being marketed by, IOXperts under their name. I have no way of verifying that info, but I've heard it from a couple of fairly reliable sources. I've also been told that the Macsense drivers which come with their cards are re-branded IOXpert drivers. Maybe someone else can verify or refute these claims. BTW, it looks like you have put quite a bit of work into your wireless drivers list. Nice job. It's good to have all of the info in one compact list. Thanks for all of the work.

Re: Wireless Drivers For OS 9 OS X
Here is a page that might be helpful in this quest: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Linux.Wireless.drivers.802.11b.html Apparently the Dell Truemobile 1100 card is the same as the Cisco 340 card. If somebody has an old cisco 1100 card lying around I think it would be really cool to try the cisco drivers with it in a Mac. Also there is mention mention about the RoamAbout card.
