[Wirelessdriver-support] Troubles with b5-1 installation

[yuriwho <yu...@ma...>]

For those who are having problems with the b5.1 installation, try the 
following:

download the latest release (b5.1) from 
http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/
locate and doubleclick the uninstaller.command file from the disk image 
(it's in the utilities folder)
provide your password when prompted in the terminal
type the following in a terminal window:
	sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
delete WirelessDriver.pkg from /Library/Receipts/
delete any additional WirelessDriver PreferencePanes found anywhere on 
your system
run the WirelessDriver installer package
reboot
login
insert your wireless card
a menu item should appear in the menubar indicating that the driver has 
recognized your card
open the network PreferencePane
you should have either en1 or en2 as available networks (In powerbooks 
with Airport cards installed, the airport card will be en1 and the 
PCMCIA wireless card will be en2, for everyone else the inserted 
wireless card will be en1.)

You must configure the network PreferencePane appropriately for your 
access point.
show the network port configurations and drag en1 (or en2 if 
appropriate) to the top of the list of available network ports.
configure your IP Address appropriately and enter the DNS addresses 
supplied by your ISP.
now open the WirelessConfig PreferencePane and enter the name of your 
wireless network and your password.

If your card is recognized by the system (if the menu item appears) and 
you cant get connected, it is probably due to misconfiguration of your 
network/access point settings. Try disabling WEP on the accesspoint and 
manually configuring your ip/subnet/router and DNS numbers.

Good luck
