I have a similar question: I am running a Wallstreet G3 with 10.1.5, with an orinoco gold card. My questions are as follows: 1) When I am at home I'm on wireless. When I'm at work I'm wired. I would simply like to eject the card and then put my machine to sleep, and then wake-up at my office. How do I eject the card without a restart? 2) Going the other way, how do I insert the card without causing kernel panic > From: wir...@li... > Reply-To: wir...@li... > Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 12:13:57 -0700 > To: wir...@li... > Subject: Wirelessdriver-support digest, Vol 1 #158 - 4 msgs > > Send Wirelessdriver-support mailing list submissions to > wir...@li... > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wirelessdriver-support > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wir...@li... > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wir...@li... > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Wirelessdriver-support digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
