ORiNOCO brand

• Wi-Fi products sold by Lucent / Agere during the early days of 802.11 generally carry the ORiNOCO brand.

However, the ORiNOCO brand / product line was acquired by Proxim in 2002 where it remains in use to this day.

Aside from the Proxim 8420-WD and Proxim 8421-WD (Gold / Silver HERMES II cards), no subsequent ORiNOCO products used Agere's chipsets.

NCR

• NCR Icarus 008-0126999 CQ08679 (Modem / DSP)
• NCR Daedalus 008-0127211 (Modem / DSP)

For more information, see WaveLAN on Wikipedia and Hacking Original 915MHz WaveLAN.
