Proxim Silver 8461-05
From NDISWrapper
Proxim Silver 802.11a/b 8461-05
- Chipset: Atheros AR5211
- pciid: 168C:0012 Windows
- Driver: http://keygen.proxim.com/support/orinoco/8461_20b15.zip
Info
WPA is not supported by this driver. However, with 802.11abg driver http://www.proxim.com/support/all/orinoco/software/download/8482_Drivers.zip, WPA works (CCMP/AES tested successfully). Depending on the wireless configuration, you may need to edit /etc/ndiswrapper/ntpr11ag/<pciid>*.conf files to change the setting “NetBand” (this setting, its legal values and their meaning are explained in the INF file).
There is native linux drivers available at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Orinoco.html However, that driver does not support WPA.
