[Coco] Off Topic - PCMCIA Wireless Card

[Tony Podraza]

I have been using Orinoco cards for years (802.11B)  They were 
originally Silver, but I supposedly was able to update the firmware to 
the gold configuration. I have drivers for the various OS platforms as 
well as CE ( I use one in an IPAQ, quite nicely).  Let me know if I can 
be any help.

Merry Christmas to all.

In HIS Grip,

Tp
