Hello,

I have 20 units of the Cabletron / Enterasys 802.11 DS PC Cards purchased
here in Australia. I understand that these cards are just a rebadged
standard orinoco card.

I need to be able to change the card firmware from the Cabletron / Enterasys
802.11 DS firware the the lucent firmware so that the card will work
correctly in a Turbocell access point, I think that because the card is
still picked up as a cabletron card via the stage 3 indentifier hex firmware
on the card it will not function correctly in a TC access point.

I have manged to get one working in Windows with the Turbocell NDIS client
software by fooling windows that he card in the slot was a real Orinoco PC
Card (5volt), but I guess the access point is a bit more smarter than
windows.

 I have used the wsu608orb.exe software unitility upgrade on the card, but I
am wondering if there is another software utility available that will
upgrade card firmware stage 1, stage 2 & stage 3 to an Orinoco  ?

Regards
