My Dell 1150 PCMCIA says "Lucent Technologies" on the name plate. Lucent sold the Orinoco name and kept supplying the chips. I think Lucent/Agere did/does the housebranding for several names like Dell for a while.. maybe still. Mine was assembled in Taiwan, but the chips came from PA. I don't remember more details. Orinoco from Proxim is the one I would not trust today. The old Orinoco Silver cards are sometimes very cheap on eBay. Similarly, the Dell 1150s are less expensive (and I think better) than the Proxim quirky stuff. When looking for Dell PCMCIA cards on eBay be sure to see the markings of a current 1150 and not the old Wavelan products nor the bandit product being sold by a company that says Dell in its header but actually has a brand-x unknown card.
