Orinoco Gold - driver and firmware version?

08-02-2001

Ok, i know this works for everybody else but me i think. I have an Orinoco Gold card and I cannot seem to get rid of the "Radio is disabled" message. Does Netstumbler need to see an access point for this message to go away? Assuming not, can some people post thier driver version and firmware version that is working for them. I've tried this on an IBM T20 W2k and a Compaq Armada 1700 W2k. The card is detected ok and shows no conflicts or problems. I don't have an access point available to test locally. This is the versions i'm currently running...

Netstumbler: 0.3.21
Driver: Lucent ver. 7.6.0.113
Firmware: ver. 7.52

Now WTF?

TIA,

I have a similar setup to you and I have to use the client manager software that came with the card to get rid of the message.

Netstumber seems to work after that, but so far only picks up Lucent AP's. I'm not sure if that is just a coincidence or not.

so did you ever find the older firmware anywhere?

All you have to do is create a profile in the client software. Make your profile use Infrastructure, and pick anything for the SSID. No wep, of course... Works great.

This discussion was brought up before, but I recently realized my configuration is not like others. To the guy who wanted to know how to change his MAC address for his Lucent adapter in Windows 2000. Go to the registry (with regedit not regedt32) and search for your MAC address, no hyphens. It should be in HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\Class and in one of the GUIDs below will be a bunch of stuff. There will be a series of numbered keys 0001, 0002, 0003, etc underneath each GUID. I found my adapter under the 14th GUID down, sub key 0002. The value you are looking for is "NetworkAddress" It's probably blank, but this is where you enter the desired MAC. After you've entered it, close the registry and disable/re-enable the adapter. Do an ipconfig /all to see your new MAC.
