I am using a Orinoco Gold card on a Wallstreet using a Netgear M314 and
using WEP with no problems. Expect that the control panel does not pull
the WEP setting from the prefs file, but WEP is working

Greetings,

First, this is not a wireless driver problem or feature request.  I 
have a Orinoco Silver card, and have never had problems with 5.1beta 
(except that I can't use WEP with my NetGear MR314 router... but that's 
another story).  Hats off to the authors and the numerous folks on the 
list who assist others.

This question has to do with how the 5.1 beta overcomes a major problem 
with the Lombard laptops and 10.2.3 with respect to Cardbus support.  
It appears that Cardbus is not fully supported on Lombard in version 
10.2.x.  I have been reading may such issues on Apple's support forums, 
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 
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 
since Jaguar was released.  They say it's a cardbus issue (supposedly 
confirmed by Apple, but there are no tech notes to support it).  I say 
they are full of crap because my Orinoco Silver card (cardbus) works 
just fine.  However, a lot of folks with Wallstreet and Lombard laptops 
are having a lot of cardbus issues.

So the question is, is there some sort of fix for these cardbus issues 
in the wireless driver code?

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