[MLB-WIRELESS] Updating Enterasys cards to Orinoco firmware 8.10

[Steven Haigh]

The problem I'm having is that it seems like you need a Win9x laptop to
update the firmware from the 'virgin' enterasys 6.06 firmware to the Orinoco
firmware. Now only having WinXP and Linux on my laptop, I don't really want
to format/reinstall everything just to update the firmware on the card...

If anyone already has a laptop set up for doing this and wouldn't mind
bringing it along to the meeting, then I'd be grateful... It'd also be handy
if you knew the proceedure, because I've just been guessing at the moment :)
