Hello
I did similar testing with NDIS driver and the SL-2011CD PLUS EXT2 (20 dbm)
card, apparently according to the TurboCell Client Manager the stations
firmware of the card is version 0.08 and if my memory is OK I belive
TurboCell needs version 6.08 at least to work.
By the way I used TurbCell XP driver for the Orinoco, even though it did not
recognized the card as an Orinoco I still installed the driver for the
SL-2011CD card, wich XP recognizes as 2Wire Wireless PC Card. (forced
install)
I tryied to use the WSU update utility for Orinoco (to stations firmware
6.08) on the SL-2011CD card, but it did not work.
I think karlnet should release an updated driver for this card to work with
NDIS (windows), but I´m not shure about Linux, anybody has similar
experience?

Asunto: RE: [Karlnet] Prism Card Compatibility With Karlnet
Barry, The Prism II cards are not supported with the NDIS driver. I am sorry
if I steered you in the wrong direction. Our current software supports these
cards in the Flashrom only. The 802.11b(AP+) feature of the flashrom would
allow traffic when Prism cards are utilized in the workstation, but NOT in
TurboCell mode,only native.The feature of our Client Manager allows for
various profiles, unfortunately Prism II in TC mode is not a possibility. We
have tested and reviewed the possibility, but it is not currently feasible.
I will gladly release any key generated for these(Prism) if you send the MAC
addr. Sorry for the confusion. RLM

Reggie:
We've gotten the FlashROM ISP basestation working great (thanks!). We gotten
the NDIS drivers working just fine with Orinoco cards (thanks again!).
The Prism 200 mW cards (with their native driver) work great under 802.11b
but we can't get them recognized by the Turbocell Client software.
I also created a several profiles on my laptop to test (the Orinoco cards
have their own license key, the Prism it's own seperate license key for it's
MAC address).
The configuration works fine with the Orinoco/Lucient under Turbocell and
under 802.11b. When I try to insert the Prism card the Turbocell Client
Manager won't recognize it.

Subject: [Karlnet] Prism Card Compatibility With Karlnet
I gave out some misinformation last week. We have installed our first
Turbocell ISP base (FlashROM--to 300' tower with YDI amplifier and 12.4 dbi
Comet Omni) and all seems well. We've been testing both Orinoco and Prism
200 mW cards.
The Orinoco cards work very well under both 802.11b and Turbocell modes.
The Prism cards will perform very well to ISP base in 802.11b mode (using
native Prism Wi-Fi drivers). They are NOT recognized by Turbocell Client
Manager at all, even though Karlnet says they work.
I've tried installing all software on a new machine with just Win98 SE with
Prisim Card Installed.
I've tried installing all software on a new machine with just Win98 SE with
Orinoco Card Installed and then swapping to the Prism.
Anyone have any suggestions?
