This review is from: Proxim ORiNOCO 11a/b/g ComboCard Silver ( 8481-WD ) (Personal Computers)

This was my first expierence with notebook card and configuring wireless networks. My cd did not have a user manual included. The notebook I was installing it on is a older Toshiba satelight. I was able to install it after a few attempts using windows instead of the installation software it came with . I like the fact I can now connect use my DSL connection wirelessly on my notebook with this compact card.
