3. NEW IN THIS RELEASE
3.1 Version 7.2.0.620 February 2002
* Enabled both IEEE 802.11 client mode and TurboCell client
mode without re-installing the driver
* IEEE 802.11 client mode matches the 7.02 release of
the Agere NDIS driver
* New release of the PC Driver requires use of new
PC Driver license keys. The new license keys are
of the form 'SHKG-A105-CA40-42L9-AKDJ'. Notice that
the new license key is visibly different from older
license keys.
- New license key DOES NOT protect the System Access
Pass Phrase.
- New license key contains the Data Rate throttle
embedded inside of it, so the user does not
have to enter the Data Rate separately
* Added TurboCell Frequency Channel Auto-Select functionality
for automatically detecting the frequency channel the
ISP Base Station is running on. This makes installation
and migration to different frequency channels much
easier to manage.
- For TurboCell Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work
correctly, the NWID and Frequency Channel numbers MUST
match (i.e. Frequency Channel 6 and NWID 6). If the
channel number and NWID used by your ISP Base Station
are not the same number, then the PC driver WILL NOT
correctly establish a connection when Channel
Auto-Select is enabled.
- For Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work, you MUST run
kernel version 3.88 or higher on your ISP Base Station.
- The PC Driver will work correctly with all existing
ISP Base Stations when Frequency Channel Auto-Select is
DISABLED.
* Solved a bug where the TurboCell PC Driver could hang
the user's PC under certain conditions, including when
the output queue fills (e.g. if the connection with the
ISP Base Station was lost).
* Fine-tuned the data rate throttling mechanism to
obtain more accurate throttling, and to correctly
throttle at speeds above 1 Mbps.
* Increased TurboCell performance by up to 20%.

5.1 Compatibility with previous ISP Base Station versions
The Frequency Channel Auto-Select feature IS NOT compatible

5.2 Frequency Channel Auto-Select
* For TurboCell Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work
correctly, the NWID and Frequency Channel numbers MUST
match (i.e. Frequency Channel 6 and NWID 6). If the
channel number and NWID used by your ISP Base Station
are not the same number, then the PC driver WILL NOT
correctly establish a connection when Channel
Auto-Select is enabled.
* For Frequency Channel Auto-Select to work, you MUST run
kernel version 3.88 or higher on your ISP Base Station.
* The PC Driver will work correctly with all existing
ISP Base Stations when Frequency Channel Auto-Select is
DISABLED.

6. KNOWN ISSUES
6.1 I/O Port conflicts under MS-Windows 95.
When your ORiNOCO Card's installation completed successfully,
but it does not become operational (Client Manager reports
"ORiNOCO card not operational"), you are advised to try a
different I/O Port value. The Windows Resource Manager does
not always detect a conflict. This problem has been noticed
under Windows 95 OSR 0.
6.2 ORiNOCO Add/Edit profile does not appear upon installation
The ORiNOCO driver requires Common Control DLL's 4.0 or later.
You can resolve this error by either:
* Installing Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.
* (Re-)installing the latest Client Manager, or
* Run the patch 'comupd50.exe'.
