[Wirelessdriver-support] OS X 10.3.7+Orinoco+WEP

[xyberpix <xyb...@gm...>]

Hey All,

Been trying to get this working, and I think that I'm 3/4 of the way
there. The driver is installed, and the I get blinking lights on the
Orinoco Gold card, but for some reason trying to get WEP working seems
impossible. Can anyone please point me to some docs or anything that I
may have missed, as the FAQ doesn't help, and looking through the
various postings on here I can't find anything. It picks up the SSID
of my network, but won't seem to allow me to ad my WEP key in hex, any
ideas thoughs much appreciated.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Silly Question

[Mark R. W. <mrw...@um...>]

Is the apple airport card a PCMCIA card?  If so, couldn't an Orinoco Card
be installed internally in my iBook?  Just curious.  Has anyone managed to
get another wireless card inside of their iBook.  Just asking because I
don't have an external PCMCIA slot like powerbooks do.

Thanks,
Mark

The Airport cards are shorter than your standard PCMCIA card, so you'll 
probably run into geometrical problems.
Also, the card would need a connector for an external antenna (not sure 
whether the Orinoco card provides this).
Apart from that, I believe the Airport card is in fact a PCMCIA card, 
but I'm also not sure whether the Airport slot is a standard PCMCIA 
slot...
All in all, I doubt you'll be able to fit in an external card :(

Actually, from what I understand, the Airport card interface is a 
proprietary one that shares more characteristics with IDE than PCMCIA.
