The "ORiNOCO 11a/b/g Client Combocard" is a *completely* different 
product from the "ORiNOCO 11b Classic PC Card".  The latter is the 
latest name for the device which began its life as the Lucent WaveLAN 
Silver, and is supported by many drivers.

No a/b/g or b/g combo card will be compatible with existing 802.11b 
drivers.  They are based on completely new hardware which has no 
resemblance to the first generation of 802.11b devices.
