orinoco silver won't work w/xp!!

AutoInnovations · 03-17-2004, 08:45 PM

Hey all,

I'm having trouble getting xp to work with my orinoco silver client. Anyone have this issue? xp recognizes it as an orinoco adapter, but no native drivers. Also, i downloaded some drivers from driverguide.com, but I can't get them to go either. Can anyone lend me a hand?

Thanks!

http://www.agere.com for propser Orinoco drivers and the client tool.

But XP should have its own drivers too...

xp looks like it should be handling it fine, but I'm still having issues.

Mine works fine under XP.

would it make a diff that it's orinoco silver as opposed to gold? I wouldn't think that it should

Mine is silver and it's fine. I'd try the official drivers.

I've used my silver with XP for years. I too have observed the drivers (included with XP and/or those from Lucent/Orinoco/Agere) to be a bit flaky. You have to make sure you have matching drivers and card firmware, IIRC.
