Nice work Brian. I followed the simpleton directions and there you go.Got my Lucent Gold Card in my 266 mhz Wallstreet to my see my SMC wireless router (assuming WEP still doesn't work). Otherwise, 10.2 is rocking along. Now only if I could again play DVDs and use any of my serial printers I would be a happy man. Oh, progress! 9.2 isn't looking that bad right now. Oh yeah, Please email me direct if you know of any one developing a USB driver for a Brother MFC-9200C fax-copier-thingie. Thanks for the great driver and everyone's support of it, -Boxer >> Hello all, >> >> I am new to the list but a user of the Wireless Driver since beta 2. >> Thanks to the many developers for all your great work. >> >> In following the recent threads concerning the problems encountered >> by upgrading to 10.2, I have found a work-around fix for those list >> members who may not wish to try their hand at using the Terminal.
