Hmmm, I'm trying, but I don't get anywhere.
I have a NetGear MR314 - wireless Cable/DSL router. It's set up
correctly, because I can connect to it with my and my wife's PowerBook
just fine.
I have changed the set up, to use channel 11 and changed the network
name to NEWTON.
On the Newton, I have the a3 driver as well as the b1 driver installed.
I also set up a new setup for NIE to use the Orinoco, I copied that from
another setup which uses a 3Com 3C589D (which also works just fine).
This didn't work ...
Then I froze the a3 driver - now the little LEDs on the Orinoco don't
flash any more like with the a3 driver. So I unfroze a3 and froze b1 -
the LEDs behave like before (the top on is on permanently, the bottom
one flashes very fast, 10+ times/sec) but still no connection.
I have the identical card to yours, I borrowed it from work over the
long weekend. If I get it to work, I'm going to buy one - but no luck so
far.
Any suggestions?
Best regards,
Chris
