People are saying that the Wavelan PC24E-H-FC is working with plan9.
I found a Lucient Ornico PC24E-H-FC-WIFI. Any idea if this will work?

Since there has been no systematic attempt to track working
hardware, each purchase is a crapshoot. I own one "Lucent
WaveLAN" PC24E-H-FC that works and just bought one "IBM"
PC24E-H-FC that does not work. They're old cards, and the
non-working one could just be dead. Or, it could have subtly
different hardware on the inside. Who knows?
To enable the working card I added the following to plan9.ini:
ether0=type=wavelan essid=MESH crypt=off station=x61 irq=11

One good way to know would be to look at the PCI device IDs.

True, and now that I've taken possession of the IBM card
I can check these things.

Awesome, thanks. I clicked the 'Buy Now' button and couldn't back out,
so I'm glad to know I didn't completely waste my money :)

I have that card and it works without problems. It is an orinoco silver pcmcia.
I have another similar, lucent Orinoco, but this time is a Compaq
WL110 and this doesn't work, it is the PCE24E-H-JP
