It is not possible to install different types of ORiNOCO powered network interfaces on
the same computer.
Although you can swap ORiNOCO powered WLAN Cards (like the YDI Diamond and
Emerald WLAN Cards) on the same computer, the ORiNOCO drivers do not support
swapping from:
§ ORiNOCO powered WLAN Card to USB device (such as the YDI Diamond USB
or the YDI Emerald USB Antenna).
§ ORiNOCO powered USB device to ORiNOCO powered WLAN Card.
§ One ORiNOCO powered USB device to another.
If you want to use a different interface than one already installed on the computer, or if
you need to update the drivers for any device, you will need to:
1. Uninstall the existing Client Manager software (if already installed).
2. Uninstall the currently installed driver and remove the files from the
system.
3. Disconnect the old network interface.
4. Connect the other network interface and (re-)install the driver.
5. (Re-)install new Client Manager software.
You should follow all of these steps in order, to ensure a smooth device swap or driver
upgrade.
NOTE: Do not use the Windows 2000 driver “Update” feature; it might not update all of
the files correctly. You should first uninstall then re-install the drivers.
