[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: beta5.1--can't select "Ethernet Adaptor (en1)"

[Nolan H. <wa...@ea...>]

Brian,

Been there, done that--the uninstall script for Beta 4, the double 
install of Beta 5 with multiple restarts, that is.

I hit my problem at your Step 4: all the text windows in the Wireless 
driver pane are dimmed, so I can't enter the name of my AirPort 
network. Similarly, in the System Prefs's Network pane, the "Ethernet 
Adaptor (en1)" choice is dimmed and not available.

The AirPort is working, btw, because I've got it running on my G4 
DualGig. My Orinoco\Lucent card is showing in the menu bar but no 
lights.

So where am I making a wrong turn?

tia,
Nolan
