which card will work on lombard?

Hi

Which of these Proxim Orinoco cards should work on my lombard?

Proxim Orinoco 8460-02 Gold
Proxim Orinoco 8460-03 Gold

Proxim Orinoco 8461-02 Silver
Proxim Orinoco 8461-05 Silver

I heard that these cards will work in OS9 with the airport driver
Will they work in OSX without ousing third party drivers?

Thanks In advance

lombard 333, Mac OS 9.2.x

I can't speak for the Proxim Orinoco 8460-02 Gold, but I am running the Proxim Orinoco Gold Classic 8410-WD on a Wallstreet 300 running 10.3.9. It is an 802.11b card and I use it with a Belkin Wireless router.

( http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/11b/),

9.2.2 recognizes it as an Airport Card, so no additional software is needed. It works for me in 10.3.9 with a free driver,

It hasn't been updated since May 2005, but has worked for me on both 10.2.x and 10.3.x.

The card will not work in OS X without a third party driver.

I haven't had any problems with this card on my Wallstreet.
