Re: 3400 won't shut down with 9.2.2

[Brian Mahoney]

As an aside, I just set up my 3400c with an Orinoco silver card and, after
following the README instructions (which I never do) , the thing is pretty
cool and pretty fast on the 'net. Goodness, wireless if fun!

After all the trouble of trying out 9.2, and I never did try your trick of
putting some 9.2 stuff in, I'll stick to 9.1 but hell, I might give that 9.2
finder a try. Can anyone explain to this Windows guy what exactly Finder is?
Like what is a windows counterpart to it? The kernel? I know the finder is
always running so I assume it is like Explorer (not the internet one) .

Re: 3400 won't shut down with 9.2.2

Tried 9.2 several times. Internet would NEVER work and the 3400 would 
freeze
all the time. 9.1 is cool, stable and enough for me. A sow's ear etc.
It seems to work for some and not for others. My 3400 was never stable in 
9.2, but I was able to pick up a little more speed by re-installing 9.1 and 
then replacing the Finder and OT components from a 9.2 system folder into my 
9.1 installation. The 9.2 Finder is clearly more responsive than the 9.1 
version.

Re: sneak preview of my page on Silver to Gold

Have you tried using an "upgraded" card with a PC running Windows? I 
tend to swap my Lucent card between a PB 1400 and a Gateway with XP.
It works fine.  The card's FIRMWARE is upgraded, so it's available on 
ANY platform.  I've done this to four WaveLAN Silvers and they all 
work fine in laptops from my 5300 to Pismo to various Dell & Compaq 
laptops.

Looks neat! Would've never thought to try sticking it into my iBook. 
Now you've got me wondering what would happen if I put my G3 iBook's 
Airport card into a PCMCIA slot.
As I discussed earlier, it WON'T FIT IN A PCMCIA SLOT since it's 
keyed for CardBus.  It _will_ fit in a CardBus slot, but it will be 
non-functional there.  I've trimmed my card to fit in 16-bit PCMCIA 
standard PC Card slots, and the PowerBook reports that the card is 
damaged (just as any CardBus card would appear to a PowerBook without 
a CardBus controller).

Guess without the [extra] power cord it's useless.
What power cord?  There's no power cord.
There _is_ an antenna that attaches to the end of the AirPort card...
Wonder why we haven't seen more 3rd party cards for the iBook, however.
The market for internal WiFi cards in a proprietary slot is pretty 
small. There are quite a few MiniPCI WiFi and 11G cards, though. 
Anyway, as has been pointed out here in the past, the Sony 
PCWA-150(S) fits in that slot, and it's pretty close to identical to 
the AirPort card.

Peace,
Drew

Looks like you've left in a local link to an image:

Other than that, very tempting.  I was about to eBay my G3 iBook; I'll have to 
consider keeping it around at least long enough to run this trick.

Have you tried using an "upgraded" card with a PC running Windows?  I tend to 
swap my Lucent card between a PB 1400 and a Gateway with XP.  Sorry if that's 
already been discussed, but I think I'd rather have it usable in both computers 
at 64 than just the 1400 at 128.

I managed to upgrade all of my Luvent cards. So that now I can use 
the safer 128 bit WEP in my home wifi network.
