think tank forum

does anyone want to buy my orinoco silver? i'll include my magnetic mount omni-directional antenna, a 4-foot pigtail (mc to n-male), and a panel mount n-female custom spider antenna.

i know that slax was possibly interested. let me know, bros.

I'm interested.

it's a good wifi card. I have a WaveLan Silver. I might be interested in the antenna. where'd you get it?

Back off asemi. I called dibs. :-P

Turns out my PCMCIA port doesn't work quite right. Looks like I'll have to buy a USB 802.11 card.

bummer, bro.

Yeah. C'est la vie. At least asemi could use the antenna. :-P

well, i got my thinkpad today. i thought it had integrated wifi and mini-pci wifi. turns out that they are really the same thing (unless a dmesg proves otherwise). so i will need to keep the orinoco for my sister. but this means that i do have a pigtail, magnetic antenna, and connector to get rid of.

Then I might be interested if I can find a supported USB wifi card that supports an external antenna.

and if it uses the mc-card connector ;o

Of course, of course...

It's going to be slim (to no) pickings for that order! :(

so anyone want this stuff before i post it up on ebay?
