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

I'm back up and running - can't say for sure the exact combination that
worked, but I suspect it had to do with two things, worth checking if you're
having trouble:

- Double checking the network name (number 4 below). I did this several
times after restarts but not *every* time, and since I've had more than one
network name in that slot, sometimes it was pulling up the wrong one from
somewhere. (easy for me to miss, because the only difference in the names
was a space)

- Both times it's worked for me, I've had 2 identical WirelessDriver
PrefPanes in System Preferences. I don't know why it's like this, but I have
identical copies of the PrefPane in two different locations:
    
    /Library/PreferencePanes/
    /System/Library/PreferencePanes/

...did Apple change the preferred location of the PreferencePanes folder at
some point? Like I said, I'd been using b1 for a *long* time, so maybe there
are conflicting resources or something. Trying to delete the "old" copy
manually is part of what started my problems in the first place.

Anyway, I'm glad it's operational again, and I'm not going to mess with it
further unless I have to!

Good luck to those of you still having problems,
Jason
