dell 1150 won't allow driver upgrade

Postby ubermage » Mon Dec 15, 2003 9:21 am

I've just purchased a Dell TrueMobile 1150, and it works okay, but I was thinking I should upgrade the firmware and upgrade the drivers.

I tried to do both of these from the proxim webpage however when I try to switch the drivers it doesn't see the drivers as a new driver, and if i try to install it manually, there isn't a manufacturer of Dell.

With the firmware upgrade, I get an error that says it's not an orinoco card.

Netstumbler does detect it as an Orinoco card, so I don't think they changed the chipset.
