Orinoco was my first experience with WiFi back in my college days. I remember it being incredibly bad, with buggy drivers, and an overall horrendous experience. That was with Windows of course.
- hedgehog 3y agoInitially the Linux drivers and wireless stack were pretty rough too, I think OpenBSD had the first open support that worked well especially for running in AP mode.
- whatwhaaaaat 3y agoYes but they existed. I recall this being a time when half the wifi cards used wpa supplicant which was a damn scourge - tho a necessary one. Orinoco cards didn’t require that at least.
