The orinoco does not do WPA2 from what I can find. WPA is the best it can do. Apparently 15" titanium powerbook 2002 is much too vague to determine the machine in question. That covers about 5 or 6 different models it seems. Some with orinoco, some with b43, and perhaps even some with something else. Seems the b43xx based models are b/g and WPA2 capable, while the orinoco based ones are b only with WPA at best. -- Len Sorensen
