Unlikely it's an Orinoco by Proxim. Most likely it's made by Lucent who originated Orinoco then sold it off. My Dell 1150 from the current product series has Lucent markings on the product ID tag: does yours? I think Lucent (ie, Agere now) still makes the chips for Orinoco, but Proxim's firmware is no longer compatible. I'd say Orinoco is now something to avoid because of firmware compatibility risks.
