One is named "Orinoco Gold" and the other "Vivanco WLAN PCC 54".
I notice two things about them:
1) Neither has any mention of the chipset it contains
2) Neither has any obvious way of seeing what is in the card,
short of destroying it.
What did you think I would notice, as a matter of interest?
Model Number, revision number,MAC address, serial number
