Orinoco Wireless Card.....

Howdy....

I am looking for an older Orinoco Wireless Gold Card.

This card was produced by Agere Systems and is part number 014916/F.

If you have one that you would like to sell or if you know where I
might find one I would surely appreciate it.

Thanks,

Warman

Hi Warman;
There are tons of them listed on Ebay. Take a look.

You can do better than that one. That one is b only. Proxim makes the
Orinoco Gold card in b/g and in a/b/g, and as mentioned, they can be had on
Ebay cheap. In fact, while I was looking around Ebay today, I saw a new
listing of someone selling a Proxim Orinoco b/g *with* a pigtail and a
cantenna made by wireless garden www.cantenna.com for $65.00. I bought a
cantenna bundle (cantenna, pigtail, tripod) from wireless garden last month
for $50.00 and something like $11.00 shipping. My Orinoco Gold b/g was like
$88.00 retail. - So, you can get a better card, and an external
cantenna/pigtail/tripod for less than retail on the card itself.

Search Ebay for (without quote marks) "Proxim Orinoco & Cantenna" or "Proxim
Orinoco Gold with Cantenna & Pigtail"

If a/b/g costs more than b/g I'd say it's probably not worth the money. I
have yet to encounter an 802.11a card or access point in the wild (that is,
outside of test and evaluation environments).

The new name for that older-style card is Proxim Classic Gold PC Card and
the newer one is called Proxim 11b Client PC Card. I prefer the Classic
Card because it is Netstumbler compatible.

Are you sure about that card being only b. My buddy has one - that is
where I got the part number - and this card is fully flashable and he
is able to use a/b/g. I have checked into the newer ones, however,
you cannot flash the new a/b/g cards.

I have that Orinoco Gold A/B/G card. It's.... ok. If you use
netsumbler for wardriving, it's hesitates. You drive by a netowrk and
like 5-10 seconds later the tones go off telling you your by a
network. It gets old. Mine atleast, is troublesome.

But MOST APs work with it, witch makes it awesome.

The new Orinoco Gold card doesn't work with NS. Some ppl have reported they
were able to get it to work with Windows XP and NS but not all. On the NS page
they state that this card will not work well.

Aren't most (if not all A/B/G cards/routers all "transmitting on the
same 2.54 MHz frequency? If so, then it would seem that "older"
Orinoco B cards would detect whether there were any routers
transmitting nearby using NS. I've seen the Orinoco B cards FS on eBay
for pretty low prices, so it would seem that they are your best bet to
use while "war=driving". Then you could pull the B-card out, replace
it with the A/B/G card and "surf the net" if you wanted on any
download/upload speed available with the particular "node" you found.

The 'A' systems are in the 5 gig range, the 'B' and 'G' systems are in the 2.4
gig range
