[Wirelessdriver-support] my fix for Jaguar

[Matt R. <mat...@fa...>]

Hi, all,

I'm using an orinoco card on a 400 MHz bronze G3.

I couldn't get the kernel extension to load, so here's what I did:


I went to /System/Library/Extensions and did :

# kextload -t WirelessDriver.kext
can't add kernel extension WirelessDriver.kext (validation error) 
(run kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output)
kernel extension WirelessDriver.kext has problems:
Validation failures
{
     "Info dictionary property value is of illegal type" = (
         "IOKitPersonalities:Baystack 660 Wireless Network:IOKitDebug"
     )
}
Authentication failures
{
     "File owner/permissions are incorrect" = (
         "/system/library/extensions/WirelessDriver.kext"
         "/system/library/extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents"
         "/system/library/extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/MacOS"
     )
}

so I did :
# chmod -R 755 WirelessDriver.kext

then I did :
# kextload -t WirelessDriver.kext
can't add kernel extension WirelessDriver.kext (validation error) 
(run kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output)
kernel extension WirelessDriver.kext has problems:
Validation failures
{
     "Info dictionary property value is of illegal type" = (
         "IOKitPersonalities:Baystack 660 Wireless Network:IOKitDebug"
     )
}


So I deleted the first key in Wirelessdriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist.

I removed the following lines:

                 <key>Baystack 660 Wireless Network</key>
                 <dict>
                         <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
                         <string>org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver</string>
                         <key>IOClass</key>
                         <string>org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver</string>
                         <key>IOKitDebug</key>
                         <string>65535</string>
                         <key>IOProbeScore</key>
                         <string>4096</string>
                         <key>IOProviderClass</key>
                         <string>IOPCCard16Device</string>
                         <key>VersionOneInfo</key>
                         <dict>
                                 <key>0</key>
                                 <string>Bay Networks</string>
                                 <key>1</key>
                                 <string>BayStack 660 Wireless LAN</string>
                         </dict>
                 </dict>
                
Now everything works good for me, since I'm not using a Baystack 
wireless network.

Your mileage may vary...
