Yeah, most of the Orinoco & WaveLAN cards were just different stickers
slapped on the same card.

Remember that the "Silver" cards only have 40-bit WEP, so you'd really
want to look for a "Gold" to get full 128-bit WEP support. There's
much discussion around WEP security, but the truth is that 40-bit WEP
is not better than none, but 128-bit is.
