If its the same as the PC world (and it should be because I use an
Orinoco Silver) the Gold firmware includes support for 128-bit WEP (as
opposed to 40/56-bit WEP). Now, don't feel like you have to rush out to
get it just for that feature as its somewhat like upgrading from a
doorknob lock to a deadbolt - if someone wants in, they'll get in.
I've had friends who 'upgraded' their silvers to gold via a firmware
flash update. I assume its a similar process for you Macintypes.
