I have a Gateway M500B1 laptop with the Agere ORiNOCO Mini PCI Card (wireless), and Windows XP Home Edition SP2. The laptop could connect only to an unsecured wireless network, and Windows wouldn't denote the WPA protocol on secured networks. After downloading the listed driver from the archive link (thanks, jbr!), and updating the driver per davak's instructions, Windows now denotes the WPA-secured networks correctly, and better yet -- I can establish a connection to a secured network. One note: With the updated driver, Windows falsely reports weaker signal strengths for all detected wireless networks. You have to dig into the status of the connected wireless network to get an accurate signal strength reading. Best regards! :P :P Thanks to you both!

Do you have the drivers stored on your computer? That link is dead, and this has apparently been abandoned by Sony and the card manufacturer (which apparently doesn’t even exist anymore).
