This sounds suspiciously like the problem involving the Extensions.kextcache file. Yuriwho did a summary of fixes people have found for problems like this on Sept 1st. I've attached it below. -Rob -=-=-=-=- 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 Y -=-=-=-=- On Wednesday, September 4, 2002, at 12:07 PM, April Westberg wrote: > I've tried to look the the archives to see if there has been an answer > to this question, but all I see are lots of people asking but not many > solution replies.
