    Interoperability with Lucent Orinoco, June 7, 2001
By unknown
I had to do a little research on the internet to get this pc card to work with my Orinoco RG1000 gateway. The difference is in the encryption. The RG1000 requires an 5 character key and which must be translated to a 10 digit ASCII representation for the Netgear card. For example if you have 1234a as the character key, the ASCII representation is 3233343561.

Regarding quality of connection in comparison to my Lucent silver wavelan, it is a little worse when connecting to my orinoco rg1000 gateway. perhaps because it is a netgear connecting a lucent.
