I also like the Orinoco cards but must caution anyone obtaining a new card
that is shipped with the "February 2003" CD Drivers. My original Classic
Gold failed and was replaced with a Gold card with the new drivers. It
worked fine with Windows for wireless access but NetStumbler would not
recognize the new card. A search on the web sites did not provide any
replacement drivers so I contacted the supplier. They replied " The latest
software version for the card that you have is still under construction, we
will send you the same model that you return to us on Friday. Please return
the card that you have , and we will ship out your replacement to you
today." So let the buyer beware!!
