YES!! It works :-) Runs better under netbsd now. (ibss mode works like a
charm) For some reason it didnt before. b?

My two cents.. (may be helpful for others)

Try the older orinoco drivers. I tried the latest ones but they didnt want
to install. I ended up using a file called WLW9870.exe. The earliest
driver didnt want to work, ie: WLW9864.exe.

After installing the older driver (9870), win98 detected the card as an
orinoco. The firmware util worked like a charm :-)

I was also using a PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge card which was supplied with my
original bronze orinoco. (The ones from www.ezywave.com) - not sure if
this matters.

Thanks for the pointers Will. :-)
