You probably can't; Lucent/Agere/Proxim doesn't support that card under MacOS X, and they are the ones that know how to get that data. I just tried running the Orinoco control panel under classic, and as I expected, it doesn't run. >Apple system profiler under 'devices and volumes' hung Kismac (or the >other way around) so I had to force-quit both of them. > >After a reboot and starting Kismac again, the info that comes up >under 'devices and volumes' yields >card type is 'cardbus' >card name is 'cardbus' >Card model TXN, PCI 1211-00 >vendor 104c >device ID ac1e >rom# is not available. >Revision 0 For what it is worth, mine reads: card type TXN,PCI1210-00 VendorID 104c DeviceID ac1e If yours is silver, maybe the card type 1210 is gold, and 1211 is silver? Anything else may take messing in Open Firmware to find the ROM on the card and seeing if the strings for the hardware and firmware versions are in there. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
