I think the Dell (made by Lucent) takes Lucent stuff but not the stuff from the new Orinoco re-branding house "Proxim". Tried mopst options a few months back and I think that the result showed Lucent OK, but Proxim's Orinoco a no go. Dell was OK but harder to access. I had a major crash since then, so no good way to check.
