Hi all. I have an Avaya silver card in a laptop currently running Windows XP and someday to also run Linux. I am currently in an unworkable predicament with my driver and firmware combination.
I just installed the latest drivers that are available from avaya.com. The firmware is 7.52 and the driver is 7.62. My Wireless Client Manager is telling me that the driver refuses to work because the firmware is too old. Therefore the card is useless now. The driver's docs claim that the driver package contains firmware 8.42 but there is no installer for it, so I don't know if that's a tertiary driver loaded into the card's RAM or what. But it's obviously not being used. Then I see this link here: http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/LucentWirelessCard#line97 That says that some versions are not recommended for Linux but I don't know why. My understanding is that this is a totally generic chipset and that its driver and firmware may be obtained from any compatible vendor such as Lucent, Agere, or Orinoco, assuming that I don't have a temporary version conflict like this. My question to you is, what should I do to make the card work optimally now under Windows XP, without breaking it for Linux later?
