I am using a RG-1000, and very happy with it, but I am in need of a Compact Flash client product. Since Orinoco does not sell one, I need another manufacturer's product that will be compatible with it. When I first set up my network, I had problems with other manufacturer's products working with my network and ended up buy all products from Orinoco to reduce my headaches (spent hours with tech support from many companies to make them "talk" to my network). SO, has anyone gotten another manufacturer's Compact Flash Client to work with a RG-1000? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Jim

When you say you couldn't get it to work, did you try turning orinoco specific features off? I know that some manufacturers use proprietary encryption schemes on some cards, and some other minor features that only are meant to work with matching hardware. When it comes down to it, products of different manufacturers should work in a basic mode of sorts if they both follow the same 802.11x standard.

It saw the network but could not authenticate to it, no matter what I did. I called Orinoco and the manufacturer of the product that I was trying and could not get it to work.
