Can anyone please give me a quick summary of wireless support in 7.6 ? I'm looking for both desktop and laptop options. Any specific advice on where to obtain wireless hardware, prices expected, etc would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick |

Laptop: Proxim Orinoco Silver or Gold cards (not bronze). Must be 16-bit for your 16-bit laptop PCMCIA cards. These are often referred to as "classic" cards. They will NOT have a gold grounding plate at the end you insert into your laptop. The newer ones that will not work have this plate. They also must be the 802.11 b cards, not the a/b or a/b/g cards. Older Farallon SkyLINE PCMCIA cards are also supposed to work, but I've never heard of anybody doing it. I've never even seen one of these on eBay. Desktop: Nothing internal, but you can get wireless bridge devices that plug into your ethernet port.

I actually just discovered a third wireless option for System 7 PowerBook, and this one is still "current" http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/11g_11b_cards/11bPCCard.php

I ran a skyline card under 7.6.1 in my 3400c. The drivers seemed a bit unstable, but still usable. Stability improved markedly upon upgrading to 8.1, but it still misbehaves frequently when trying to come out of sleep.
