    I have a Latitude with TrueMobile.  It's essentially the
    same as an Orinoco Gold card, expect that it is a MiniPCI
    card instead of PCMIA (but it is internally hooked up via
    the PCMIA controller).  I seem to be getting about the same
    range out of it as I do with an Orinoco PCMCIA (ie, just not
    enough for all of my backyard :-/
