Orinoco card and wirelessdriver 6
my setup

Tibook 512 Mo 667 MHz
System Mac OS X 10.4.4

Airport : working
Pcmcia wireless card Orinoco NEC AtermWL11C ( to improve the range) and WirelessDriver 6

I want to connect to a WEP protected wireless base station (128 bit hex key)

With Airport: no problem

With Orinoco card:

The signal strength is maximal
The value of the WEP Key has no influence on the signal strength
No Internet connexion either with TCPIP in DHCP or Manual

When TCPIP in DHCP, network pref indicates "access to internet not garanteed" (translation from french)

When TCPIP in manual, network pref indicates "you are connected to internet" (translation from french)

It seems that the WEP key is not taken into account

Any suggestion?

PS : I have also tried IOXperts driver; no more success

No clue, I've alwayse stuck to Apple cards for connecting. Why not just add an external antenna?

It's not difficult to make one, and it's reversable.

Antenna outside.

Antenna inside.
