They still officially support the ORiNOCO as far as I know. If not, you can probably find them with a few minutes on Google.

Proxim bought out Agere Orinoco and nowadays they do an "Orinoco Gold" which is Atheros chipset based and is well supported.
Look for the 8470-WD. (Or even the 8470-FC)

I found this site that has drivers posted (at the very bottom of the page), but I'm unable to get the download links to work.

Perhaps try the site at a different time.


Dell sold this device with some of their pc systems and called it: PCMCIA\DELL-TRUEMOBILE_1150_SERIES_PC_CARD-C043

The photo is just re-badged with Dell's name on it.

I was unable to determine which Dell laptops came with this card installed or was packaged with the pc.

This is the same card by 2Wire shown here: http://www.modem-help.co.uk/2Wire/Wi...ard--11b-.html
