Question on Wireless Card & WAP

Wako · 01-23-2003

Ok, I want to use Stumbler, but I currently have a D-link card.

I want to buy a new card (maybe an Orinco), but I still want it to work with my D-link WAP, especially with WEP. Will it?

Can you get pretty much any wireless card to work with a D-link WAP?

Thanks

The Wi-Fi® Alliance is a nonprofit international association formed in 1999 to certify interoperability of wireless Local Area Network products based on IEEE 802.11 specification. Currently the Wi-Fi Alliance has 204 member companies from around the world, and 611 products have received Wi-Fi certification since certification began in March of 2000. The goal of the Wi-Fi Alliance's members is to enhance the user experience through product interoperability.

So any devices that have this logo

should work together fine

Thanks, but.... my WAP is a Dlink DWL900-AP (not the +) and it doesn't say Wi-Fi on it...

Anyone know if it will work with an Orinoco Gold or Silver card?

It should have the logo on it.

It will work - see this page http://www.weca.net/OpenSection/Cert...ucts.asp?TID=2 and enter D-Link as the company

The actually unit doesn't have this mark, but this page certainly says it is.

Thanks! You are the MAN!
