Did you check the maker's website for Vista drivers?
Proxim owns the Orinoco brand now, and their web site sucks. You have to register before you can download any drivers, so I just registered and they are asking me a bunch of questions like what company I am and various business related questions that don't apply to me. Forget that. And their web site doesn't even list the Orinoco Gold Classic
802.11b card anymore, so I doubt they have any Vista drivers for it. I'm pretty sure they stopped supporting the card several years ago.
Well I just have to ask, who are you thinking has written drivers for it for Vista if the maker no longer 'cares' about the card?
fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
Indeed, and personally I don't see the point in trying to get a decade-old slow network card working, when 11g cards are ten-a-penny.
However if someone insists, I have a 10-base-T ISA network card with AUI and BNC connectors somewhere. And an 8" floppy drive.
I have read that you can sometimes use XP drivers in Vista. So that's why I wanted to know if anyone has tried doing that.
