Hi folks,
I can confirm that the D-Link DWL-AG660 doesn't work with the
Orangeware driver, and
that their e-mail support is quaint. They asked me to remove and re-
install the driver.
Unsurprisingly, this doesn't make an iota of difference, and it still
doesn't detect the card.
I don't assume that Orangeware are complete liars, so I wonder if the
issue is with EU
as opposed to US versions of cards. There might be some voodoo for
Hyperlan co-existence
in the EU variants of 802.11A cards, and this may confuse the drivers
(and explain the
different vendor/model IDs). I wonder if a solution would be to buy a
card in the US,
as these don't have the Francey signal strength modulation, and may
have actually been
tested by the software vendor.
Any other experiences welcome, as I've just been told that the ship
date for my MacBookPro
has now slipped to the end of March - thank you Apple.
all the best and good luck,
Lawrence

Hence, based on this experience so far, I would strongly advice
making sure that the card that you plan to buy actually does work
with the driver before buying a card. From the drivers
Info.plist, cards with the following parameters appear to work:
3COM Wireless: 0xa7270013 0x102610b7
DLink AirPlus XtremeG (Atheros 5212a): 0x1025168c 0x2027168c
Linksys A+G (Atheros): 0x00181737
ZAtheros: 0x0013168c
A Netgear WAG511v2 (Vendor ID 5772, Device ID 19) also works, I'm
using one sometimes.
The OrangeWare driver also does not support WPA with any card AFAIK
(not an issue at IETF though.)
