Alchemy V1.01
Convert your ORiNOCO Silver card to Gold, and enable 128-bit WEP. Download
To use it, just open a DOS box or command prompt and run the program. After a successful conversion, run the firmware updater. It has been tested on Windows 98/XP.
Sorry, I don't have time to document everything it does, but there's a huge Lucent silver to gold thread on the netstumbler forums where you can learn more.
BTW, I have a whole pile of ORiNOCO classic gold cards of various brands. I don't really mess with them anymore, so if anyone wants one for $25 + shipping, just drop me an email at lincomatic@hotmail.com.
WARNING: THIS PROGRAM WRITES TO THE NVRAM OF YOUR CARD. WHILE IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANY DAMAGE MAY BE DONE, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT YOUR CARD MAY BE RENDERED UNUSABLE IF SOMETHING GOES AWRY SUCH AS YOUR SYSTEM CRASHING WHILE IT UPDATES YOUR CARD. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK; I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR CARD IS DAMAGED BY IT.
