That seems very promising, especially the bit about Orinoco classic
gold. I think Buffalo is a company that has been known to changes
the chipsets in it's wifi cards without making material changes to
the model #'s so everyone should beware of assuming because the
models number match it's the same card.
Also, I guess MoreWIFI is needed for these?
