Windows XP, Toshiba portage 7200, Orinoco Silver (2x PCard 1x USB)
Latest drivers (7.42 and 7.44 tested).
I cant get this combo to work as it should be. I reinstalled XP and still
nothing. I tried Linksys WPC11 v3 card and guess what ? It doesnt work
either, but 7 other PCCard/Cardbus cards i got work 100ok in this laptop
(modems/ethernet/FireWire). This is my first time with wireless XP on the
laptop, both kind of cards (orinoco and wpc11) work ok under w98 on this
machine.
Netstumbler + Orinoco = all ok (scanning, displays "no APs found) until
there is a wireless network in the range, then it displays "orinoco error
0004". WPC11 doesnt work at all under Netstumbler (the card is unreachable
or something like that).
Orinoco Client Manager scans the air untill something is in range and says
"The card is disabled" .. dump.
I am out of ideas besides putting W98 on it again(kinda stupid becouse its
P3 600MHz 320mb ram).

Oh hell yes! Think of a computer as a tiny, super complex street
hooker. The more you put in.. Wait. No. That's not a good
analogy... Um... A computer is like a piece of paper. Er. No.
Um. I really have no idea how they work.
