RE: Cheap Dell badged Lucent PCMCIA 802.11b cards

["Nick Shore" <nick.shore@xxxxxxx>]

I got my card through today - its an orinoco gold badged as a dell 1150

Installed on fuji - had to download the win95 driver from dell
then installed cl_mgr from the dell supplied CD

Haven't had chance to test it yet - ran netstumbler but nothing around
here.
Have to wait until I get home to test against something

Nick.
