Paul,

Ahh. Not exactly a great experience of "G" kit then. Any news on
when the new firmware will be available ? Couple of weeks, or will it be
months ?
Any benefit in changing the card, rather than the AP ?

Good news for WAP11 & the Orinoco card :-)

What's your impression of 802.11g ? A few teething troubles or something
more serious ?
Unfortunately I can't plump for "G" exclusively as I need to get
something for my Fuji :-/

Thanks,

Tim H.

Well, I can tell you that I have problems with my "G" Card and my
"G" WAP...
but that could be because the "G" card is actually an Apple
Airport Extreme...

As I said before I'm going to wait until Linksys release their new firmware
for the WAP, if that doesnt work... I'll probably eBay it and get an Apple
Airport basestation instead :-)

I've had a WAP11 and Orinoco silvers (from either Tony or Chris's BB)
working
together fine, no problems at all :-)

If you look around you may find some cards on eBay or there may well be
some
rebadged ones flying around - I have several by Enterasys - exact same
card,
different driver software...

HTH
