I have a mini-pci orinoco card in my Dell Latitude C600. It works fine
when associating to Apple Airport Base stations, but as soon as I roam
past our Aironet AP-4800, it loses connection. All of our other Aironet
and Orinoco equipped machines can roam between the Airport and Aironet
access points with not even a hint of a slowdown.

Anyone care to suggest why the mini-pci card would have trouble
accessing an Aironet access point? I am using David Gibson's orinoco
driver version 0.08a. It reports:

"eth0: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 6.16"
