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

[Robert H. <rob...@no...>]

FYI:  I followed Rob's directions and I'm now up on 10.2.  Btw, I had to
edit the Info.plist before I could run kextload (kextload barfed if I didn't
do that).

That's pretty much the case... 
 
I think it's close enough to the release date to at least let out the patch
for the existing installer, with the new one to follow in a day or two. 
 
Basically, Jaguar introduces some security checks for kernel extensions 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 of kextload that is needed here. 
        2) Open terminal and run "sudo kextload
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext" 
        3) Modify
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist",
removing the 2 line entry for IOKitDebug on lines 33 and 34 (it's not needed
except during development and was incorrectly typed as a string 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 up a dialog asking for confirmation 
 
...or... 
 
        1) "sudo chmod -R ugo-w
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext" 
        2) "sudo chown -R root.wheel
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext" 
        3) Modify
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist",
removing the 2 line entry for IOKitDebug on lines 33 and 34 (it's not needed
except during development and was incorrectly typed as a string 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 left
something out...

Whoo-hoo!  Mine just came in the mail today!  It's EARLY!  I'm wondering if
the new driver is ready to go and is just being held back until the official
Jaguar release date. 
 
Obviously, I'm so anxious to install it I might go back to a wired
connection until the new driver is out. 
 
Simply giddy with delight,
