Re: wireless card misrecognition problems

Hi,

        I did some digging and found a answer to why getting my Orinoco card to
work was such a fluke.

        In http://www.handhelds.org/pipermail/familiar/2001-June/000327.html, Earl Zmijewski
describes a condition where the Orinoco card is not recognized until the CPU is scaled
down to at least 162 MHz.

        This appears to explain my experience with most of the time it recognizes
my card as anon memory and a few times as a Lucent Orinoco card.

        Any idea why this is so, as it appears to be a bug of some (unless I am wrong)?
Anyone come across this?

        Anyway, I have a procedure (a clumsy one but workable at least) and I won't
break any more furniture. I responded with this here in case anyone else thought
they were going crazy with getting this card to work also.

Regards
Larry Mitchell
