Orinoco wireless card working again


With Mac Powerbook G4 sometimes wireless coverage is pretty weak. The problem is that antennas are in aluminium case and external plastic stripes are not always enough to catch weak signal far away. Then I use my Lucent (Orinoco) WaveLan card that has small antenna.

In Panther Sourceforge drivers worked just fine, but not in Tiger. There are not too many drivers available, few drivers for which you have to pay $15-19.

I accidentally found wireless driver for my Lucent (Orinoco) silver card from download page select project development page. Choose Beta 6 for Tiger from here.

Just in case they loose the fail or change the page here is the driver in my server.
