[Wirelessdriver-support] Wallstreet, 10.2, Netgear MA401RA

[Doug M. <do...@mc...>]

I just upgraded to 10.2 and installed the Wireless Driver (I did not
use it at all under 10.1).  The installation goes successfully, but I
never see an interface for the card in the "Network" pane's list.  The
WirelessConfig pane appears, but everything in it is grayed out.  I
have tried the "remove Extensions.kextcache, uninstall, install,
reboot" sequence suggested on the mailing list, and tried installing
the driver twice, to no avail.

One thing that may be a factor is that the card is an MA401RA, rather
than a regular MA401--I guess it's a newer model.  I had to add an
entry for it to the PCMCIA devices list to get it working under
Linux.  Is there something similar I might need to do to register it
for the Darwin driver?

I am pretty savvy with Unix, but not super-familiar with OS X.  I'm
happy to run any diagnostics etc if someone will tell me where they
are.  ;)

Here is the troubleshooting script output:
