Is that card compatible with Win2000 and WinXP?

Yes. It is totally plug-n-play (pray?). I had it on my XP Pro and it worked great.

Let me know if you're interested.

Trade me for a 1.2 Tbird AYHJA even up?

I prefer to sell the network card. I dont have a system that can take a mobo. I just have my PoS Hewlett-Packard system.

Would you like to buy it?

I'm thinking about it. First I need to score a wireless router, but I know where one is, but the price is too high yet. PM or email me with a price please.

Just out of curiousity...what kind of notebook do you have?

Compaq Presario 1200XL I think. It has 32 bit PCMCIA slot if that's what your wondering. I'm running a Dlink 650+ in it right now. This setup is for my brother, but your price is too high for me. If you want an offer, email me.

Umm...no. They are going on eBay for $55-60 right now.

Thanks anyway.

I think I'll be posting it today on there.

Here is one reason they cost more than others. This is from our very own John:

Lucent Orinoco Gold

Just got it (my school has a 22 acre wireless 802.11b lan) for my lappy, it was about $75.

This was from several months ago when I was trying to figure out what wireless networking stuff to get.

OK, I made an offer. I can get one brand new right now for $45 shipped from another forum, or on Pricewatch for $58 shipped (Dell branded). Sorry

Cool. I'm glad you found it cheaper. I would just like to not lose TOO much on it.

Thanks man.

I am going to leave it on here until I get back from Mexico. I won't be able to ship it out on arrival of money order if I put it on eBay now.

Ah well. It's all good. Like I said before, thanks for the interest in it!
