[Wirelessdriver-support] How does wireless driver support Cardbus on Lombard laptops?

[Ron B. <ron...@at...>]

Greetings,

First, this is not a wireless driver problem or feature request.  I=20
have a Orinoco Silver card, and have never had problems with 5.1beta=20
(except that I can't use WEP with my NetGear MR314 router... but that's=20=

another story).  Hats off to the authors and the numerous folks on the=20=

list who assist others.

This question has to do with how the 5.1 beta overcomes a major problem=20=

with the Lombard laptops and 10.2.3 with respect to Cardbus support. =20
It appears that Cardbus is not fully supported on Lombard in version=20
10.2.x.  I have been reading may such issues on Apple's support forums,=20=

and I have officially received the following reply from Asante:
-------------
Ron,

The PowerBook/G3 Series
(Bronze Keyboard)

Codename: 101, Lombard
CPU: PowerPC 750
CPU speed: 333/400 Mhz

This failure has been verified by Asant=E9 in Apple's Labs.  This is an=20=

issue
with the Operating System (and Apple un-officially agrees with this
assessment by Asant=E9).  The CardBus card is not supported in the =
Lombard
series G3 with OS/10.2.3.  The issue here is a CardBus issue and not a
problem with the up-grade card in this laptop.

I have been trying to get an Asante 10/100 Friendlynet card working=20
since Jaguar was released.  They say it's a cardbus issue (supposedly=20
confirmed by Apple, but there are no tech notes to support it).  I say=20=

they are full of crap because my Orinoco Silver card (cardbus) works=20
just fine.  However, a lot of folks with Wallstreet and Lombard laptops=20=

are having a lot of cardbus issues.

So the question is, is there some sort of fix for these cardbus issues=20=

in the wireless driver code?

Thanks in advance!   A very happy yet very frustrated user. -Ron=
