RE: [iPAQ] Which a wireless LAN (802.11b) card?

Lucent seems to have sold off their WLAN business. It's now called Orinoco.

However, PC Connection etc. still have Lucent-branded 802.11b cards. Just
search for Lucent or Orinoco. Turbo Silver and Turbo GOld have both been
tested on the iPAQ under Linux.

Supposed like, I think I heard somebody thinks they work or like, there is
some kind of document somewhere that states
that this is supported HW, or, I have one and I use it every day? Only
Compaq WL 100 is listed as iPaq CE compatible on
iPaq site?

After hours spent searching Lucent site, I can only think I'm blind or this
guys don't sell products, just marketing BS.
Or do they sell only to OEM's?

Can anyone help me here with name of some product that is Lucent 802.11b
based, confirmed to work with iPaq in Linux and
CE, ideally with manufacturers part number?

Thanks,
