There is an FAQ on the wirelessdriver site about this. http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/faq.html#panic As far as people wishing to use different network access methods in different locations, with my powerbook and under OS X you can just set the preference of network interfaces. I set mine in with Onboard Ethernet on top and Wireless card as number two. When I am plugged in with cat 5 cable it recognises it and uses the onboard ethernet. If there is no ethernet then it automatically checks for a wireless network and uses that. So for this case I have no need to eject the card. Although it does stick out a bit :( Anyway if you want to take it out with no kernel panic then follow the steps in the FAQ carefully. Cheers, Jarrod.
