I unpacked a win98 Progear which I have had sitting around in a box for
a couple of years. I got it to work OK although it seems the built-in
Orinoco wireless card has a limited reach. I could hook into my own
access point and the public library but not the local Starbucks. I have
a USB wireless stick however that is where I run into problems as I
would need to plug in more than one USB device, if I want to use the
keyboard. When I plug in a hub to the USB port, it does not light up
like it does on my desktop PC. I tried plugging in an optical mouse,
same thing -- lights up on the PC but not on the Progear. I have a USB
keyboard and a Lexar memory stick which both work fine with the USB
board. It seems that the USB port does not have sufficient power to
drive the mouse or the hub. The hub has an external power supply which
I haven't tried yet, but it sort of defeats the purpose. Any
suggestions or comments?

I don't even know if any Progear-people are left out there. Yesterday
though soimebody reported one for sale, prior to that it was mostly
Spam now and then.
