Which cards are Orinoco??

jwjody · 09-23-2002

From reading on here apparently the orinoco cards are the best ones to get with NS. I decided to see what deals I can get on the orinoco gold and silver cards at ebay. Well apparently according to all the sellers everyone makes orinoco gold. Avaya, enterasys, Dell (some of the 1150's but from what I read here some use the Prism chip set??), Agere, Lucent. Then I go to a couple of different wireless stores and see orinoco gold cards but they have different labels. Are those different brands? Basically what I'm asking is if someone could break these cards down for me and tell me who truly is Orinoco.

And is the only difference between silver and gold the encryption?

Thanks,
J

i have an enterasys roamabout, and it is a rebadged orinoco silver.

i wish there was a way to use the orinoco firmware on it, so i can use the more frequently updated drivers.

but it was only 34$ so im not complaining.

you can hack the orinoco updater to work with it.
