I've read that the Lucent Wavelan Silver cards are identical to the Gold
with one small exception, the Silver cards have a software switch disabled
so that it will only do 64 bit WEP. The wireless hub my roommate installed
in our house runs 128 bit WEP, thus my dilemma.

There are two or three ways I've heard of upgrading the card, one with a win
computer, some with a Mac, some using an Airport Base Station. I've been
trying to flash my Lucent Wavelan Silver card to Gold on my Win laptop so I
can use it with my Newt, but I can't get the laptop to see the card.

If you've successfully upgraded a Lucent Wavelan Silver card to Gold, please
contact me off-list.

Thanks.
