Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] 10.2 - I got mine today!

That's pretty much the case...

I think it's close enough to the release date to at least let out the=20
patch for the existing installer, with the new one to follow in a day=20
or two.

Basically, Jaguar introduces some security checks for kernel extensions=20=

and the current driver fails this test.  To fix it:

Do one of the following:
	1) Install the developer tools.  This installs a more complete =
version=20
of kextload that is needed here.
	2) Open terminal and run "sudo kextload=20
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext"
	3) Modify=20
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist",=20
removing the 2 line entry for IOKitDebug on lines 33 and 34 (it's not=20
needed except during development and was incorrectly typed as a string=20=

when it should have been an integer)
	4) run "sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions"
	...NOTE: This won't work if run from the console as kextload =
will pop=20
up a dialog asking for confirmation

...or...

	1) "sudo chmod -R ugo-w =
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext"
	2) "sudo chown -R root.wheel=20
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext"
	3) Modify=20
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist",=20
removing the 2 line entry for IOKitDebug on lines 33 and 34 (it's not=20
needed except during development and was incorrectly typed as a string=20=

when it should have been an integer)
	4) run "sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions"

I'm doing this from memory, so I'm sure someone will correct me if I've=20=

left something out...
