I have an Orinoco Gold card and a WAP11 v2.2 AP. Both of them are working fine together now. Allow me to summarize the problems I encountered...
My laptop has WinXP installed. I installed the Orinco Gold card and XP found it no problem. I updated to the latest drivers (as of 2 weeks ago. Not sure if there has been a new release) from the Agere site.
Things looked like they were working fine. I could view my home network with the AP unsecured. I didn't try the Internet since I was waiting for my DSL to be activated at that time.
I ran into problems when I would activate the the 128bit security until I found that the Orinoco would only seem to work with the FIRST key that was generated and only the first key. After using the first key, I've had no other problems.
Until my DSL was connected and I logged onto the Internet, that is. I could open web pages and receive e-mail just fine, but I could not open any links or send e-mail. I believe I found a post in this forum that led me to rollback the driver from the updated Agere one to the native WinXP driver. Once I did this, everything has been working flawlessly.
