RE: Cheap Dell badged Lucent PCMCIA 802.11b cards

["Dr John Tankard" <john@xxxxxxx>]

Watch out....

There are two different forms of the cards, both made by the same
factory, I am told that only the labelled Lucent cards will work on all
platforms with the Orinoco driver, the others all require the avayna
driver. The cards perform exactly the same, but the cards cannot be
mixed with the drivers. When I did the last bulk buy this was a option
to save money however I got confirmation of the problem from several
sources.

Bottom line, if you are never likely to come across a proper Orinoco
card then ones with the avayna driver are ok otherwise stick clear you
are asking for trouble.
