So, the problem is with the Orinocco card? Hmmm, I had my suspicions, since it doesn't comply to the WiFi standard.

I would say the USR router is much more likely to be non-compliant than the Orinoco card. Those Orinoco cards have been around since the 1990s and most of the new ones I get have the Wi-Fi logo on them. I use Orinoco exclusively because I think they give the best price/performance/quality ratio.

I will try to dig up that email conversation when I get home. I think it might say it's confidential. If it does, I will just make comments about it.
