I just bought a Lucent Orinoco Silver PCMCIA Wireless LAN Card today at
Goodwill for my old TI Extensa 450 Laptop, which is dual boot with Damn
Small Linux and DOS 6.22/WfW 3.11 (For $5, I couldn't pass up a good 16
bit PCMCIA NIC, even though I already have a regular ethernet adapter for
her now...) Linux automatically probes the card and loads a driver for
it. However, I need to find a Win 3.x driver for it now. I checked
Driverguide, and nothing came up there. I also couldn't find anything on
Lucent's site. I couldn't even find a drivers link there. Anyone know
where I can find a driver for this card so I can test it out tomorrow down
at the library (the only place in town that has a free Wireless access hot
spot)?

Scarletdown:

Found something claiming to be a DOS driver for this card:

Well, that is a start anyway. That at least loaded the DOS Packet and ODI
drivers. Any ideas on how to get these to work with Windows apps now?

Almost standard method is, to use DOS packet driver in conjunction
with WINPKT and Trumpet Winsock.
