RE: Wireless LAN

["John Tankard" <john@xxxxxxx>]

The Orinoco cards I group purchased work fine in a iPaq, the drivers
are
available from www.orinocowireless.com I have posted before about
compatible cards, you have to be very careful about compatible cards,
although they are made in the same factory they will not (in most
cases)
work in a system that has Orinoco drivers (the reverse is also true)
unless you are sure they will work with the same divers don't mix the
true Orinoco cards and compatible ones. If you don't have wifi and are
unlikely to get or use true orinoico then go for the cheaper card the
performance is identical.

Dunno!  Should be as they are apparently just rebadged Orinoco
cards.
Fuji I would say yes because it's just a PC, the iPaq is more tricky. I
wouldn't recommend a pcmcia card for it because of power consumption,
but then you have to buy a CF sleeve and CF card, which are more
expensive and IME, the range not so good. If you do go with these cards
and they work with the fuji but not the ipaq then I don't mind swapping
one of my silver cards from the Dr John buy for one of your lucent
cards
- Can someone out there confirm that the Dr John cards work with an
iPaq?  I have a CF one myself so dunno - though they work with the
ePods
okay so I'd be surprised if there's a problem.
