Dig around in ftp.orinocowireless.com - you can use the user name
'anonymous' to get access - they'll ask you to put in your email
address as the password. (It doesn't complain if you make one up).

An older version that WILL work with os 7.6 apparently is in
/pub/software/IEEE/PC_CARD/APPLE/v600 - this isn't the newest driver
however - which is under /pub/software/ORiNOCO/PC_Card/MacOS/

The newer vesion (7.2) within the ORiNOCO directory requires 8.6 and
up, but is a much preferred driver to the old IEEE version - and
supports more of the cards in the Lucent/Agere/Orinoco Wavelan, wavelan
Silver, Wavelan Silver IEEE Turbo, Orinoco Wavelan silver, etc.
versions of virtual identical wireless cards.

Good Luck!

(P.S. don't even THINK* about trying to find these drivers linked to by
some webpage - I spent a LONG time digging around for them when I first
got my wireless card - the Agere/Orinoco/Lucent/Proxim mess is too damn
confusing IMO... *if you DO tell me okay?)
