Airport card firmware updates

There is indirect evidence to support this. On a card that has had this done shows the Orinoco firmware is updated from v. Note: there is no Orinoco version 8. I'd like to be able to understand what AirPort software does to the firmwar on a wireless card AirPort or PC Card because 1 I want to know why Orinoco silver can be converted to gold 2 I want to know if I can use the AirPort slot to get a newer firmware version on an Orinco card or clone with an older version.

I need to know where I am to do this. There have been some major recent changes to the Orinoco firmware. And of course I want to do this on a Mac, not a PC. If I'm not mistaken you can find this info through apple system profiler. Just install the Airport updater, turn off your computer, remove the old Airport card, put in the Silver - turn the computer on, wait for the boot to complete, shut the machine back down, and remove the card - it'll have been upgraded to firmware version 8.

I have done this myself and can attest that it works. You must log in or register to reply here. Page content loaded. Oct 7, PM in response to plaka In response to plaka Oct 7, PM.
