I don't know for sure.  I do know that the GV driver is a little 
funny.  It may be more an issue with the way the OS handles Ethernet 
drivers on the PowerBook.  I couldn't have Ethernet Drivers for two 
different cards (GV and Kingston) installed in the system 
simultaneously.  Installing one seemed to overwrite the other.  The 
doces mentioned it but only briefly.  This was on a PB 5300.  I have 
the Orinoco drivers and one of the others installed on my 5300 but 
haven't tried using both cards.
