Subject: Tried this driver with Breezenet card ( orinoco gold ) now trying MA401 Netgear with Aerolan Driver

I have a Powerbook G3 Series ( bronze keyboard ). I am trying to get it 
to connect to an existing wireless net work. I have an Airstation 
router to my DSL I have tried to using a breezenet  PC card along with 
the Wireless driver fron sourceforge. Now I have a
Netgear 401MA card installed. I have installed the Aerolan Universal 
Driver 2.0.1.

I see a signal 3/4 strentgh in the Aerolan Preference Pane.

Using the Network Utility I see in the info panel:

Hardware Address 00:07:5b:32:45:05  	( numbers changed but similar )

IP address 169.354.220.80		( numbers changed but similar )

Link Speed 11mb

Vendor - Asante

Model AeroLan PC Card



Sent Packets	 	733 			( These keep changing )

I tried pinging the router

and I get

Ping has started

I?m not a network expert by a long shot. I do not know how to 
interprete this info.

P.S.I have an iMac which is connecting via airport just fine to the 
airstation

Any help would be appreciated.
