I recently acquired this PowerBook 190 with 40MB of Ram and OS 8.1 on it. I already had this Orinoco Gold card made by Lucent Technologies (WaveLAN? Confusing naming.) Either way, I wanted to put the two together and explore the web via Netscape on my totally rad vintage laptop. I, however, ran into some trouble while trying to set it up. I found the supposedly compatible driver from here. I installed it and sure enough, now when I pop the card in, it shows up as a WaveLan card. However, to use it, I need to double click the icon and go to the AppleTalk settings and set AppleTalk to connect via the card. This is where the problem is, the card doesn't show up in the list, it only shows the IR driver, Alternate Ethernet and serial/modem. What gives? When I select the "Alternate Ethernet" option, it does initialize it and the lights on the card start blinking indicating it's active.
