[Wirelessdriver-support] how to switch back to 'wired'?

[Michael B. <mb...@zo...>]

Hello supporters,
I'm at a loss regarding how to gracefully (without rebooting) switch 
from wireless operation at home using this most excellent driver to 
connecting to plug-in ethernet at work. The FAQ says a lot about getting 
things working, but that went without a hitch on my machine. I haven't 
seen where the docs say how to turn off (and eject) the card...

What I have tried is -- switching to my setup for plugged-in Ethernet at 
work through the Network Prefs and then unplugging the card from my 
Lombard PBG3 (10.1.5) either before or after Sleeping the computer.  
Either way, Sleep works fine and doesn't wake when I remove the card, 
but the system slows to a crawl after Waking and so I just go for the 
reboot.

(If this is explicitly described in the FAQ, I missed it, and I really 
am sorry. There just seems to be less Wireless driver documentation for 
the time being than there is for FINK for instance. Haven't found a 
description in the archives either, but then I could just be a loser  ;0)

BTW, what does 'kernel panic' mean anyway; what are the symptoms?  :0/
Thanks for your patient tolerance of newbies like me!
