Telekom Sinus 130 PCMCIA
Posted by: MacUp72 on 2023-03-29 22:47:27
With my Pismo came an older PCMCIA wlan card, a Sinus 130..surprisingly this is the only card ( besides the Orinoco ) that works now in my PB 1400c.
I was testing different cards I have lying around together with an old Airport Express router. I installed the latest Orinoco driver 7.2 and it was recognized as a bronze card, so only works without encryption. The 1400c automatically added its correct IP so I could set up TCP/IP manually and ..bang, on the net. It works under 8.6 and 9.1..it looks loke this:

Do you have a picture of the other side? Sounds like it is a Lucient WaveLAN based card.

it doesnt specifically name the chipset on it but it must be Lucent based.
