Mr. Denton otherwise sound advice is wrong in the case of Avaya.
I recently purchased an "Avaya Wireless Silver World Card", P/N
016064/B, also labeled "Lucent Technologies PC24E-H-FC". When
inserted into the Newton, it says that it doesn't recognize this kind of
card. I have confirmed via the FAQ on Avaya's website that it has a
different hardware ID than the older Orinoco cards.
I have a call into their Technical Support to find out how different the
driver is. If it's just a matter of accommodating the different
hardware ID, then perhaps Mr. Hirochi Noguchi can add it to his driver.
BTW, Avaya is a spinoff of Lucent.
Yours in Newtondom,
