This is a basic howto which was posted to the mailing list by Will
Lanigan,
Thanks Will..
BRIEF
Flashing enterasys cards with the latest orinoco firmware...
well yes it can be done and the cards still work perfectly, in fact
better because they are now recognised by everything as being an
orinoco.
You need to do this in win9x, winME or NT4 it doesn't work in win2k.
It also does NOT work in WinXP [6].
STEP 1
To flash your card you MUST install the entersays card into your PC
with the orinoco drivers (yeah u have to frig around a bit to do this
in some cases).
STEP 2
Once you have the enterasys installed with orinoco drivers just run
the firmware update program from www.orinocowireless.com and click
update.
STEP 3
The enterasys cards come with firmware version 6.04 according to the
orinoco update program, once updated, your card will have orinoco
firmware of 8.10 installed (assuming you use the current update
available)
NOTE
(zardoz a.k.a Tristan Gulyas pioneered this firmware updating method
and has passed his wisdom on to me at the melb-wireless meeting,
thanks zar!)
updated firmware 8.10 [7]
