"TrueMobile 1150"

Poof · 06-13-2002

I was just wondering if any of ya'll have heard anything good about the "Dell TrueMobile 1150" or what. I saw it on the faq as being supported but being supported doesn't mean it's a good card =)

So.. anybody own one? Like it? Or anybody hear anything good/bad about it?

Thanks =)

Its just a rebadged Orinoco Gold card. I have one and it performs just fine.

Yeah? Great as in? *G* Never want a new card? Or what's the "best"(I know. it's like asking the best release of Linux) 802.11X card anyhow? Anybody know? =)

Thanks again =) And thanks for the -FAST- reply! Wow!

Does it have an external antenna port and if so what kind?

it's physically/electrically identical to the orinoco's...the only diff is really the vendor id. it has the same port as a lucent badged card.

update: hmm...ok i guess some of them are rebadged orinocos...weird. the ones that overstock.com carries for $39 are not orinocos. perhaps someone else can shed some light on this?

Has anyone purchased one of these cards from overstock.com, or know for sure that the non-orinoco version works with NS and has an external connector? This seems like a great deal, but id like to know for sure.
