[Wirelessdriver-support] Yet another case of 'no en1'...

[Steve D. <sd...@sp...>]

I've installed the Wireless driver beta4 on my PowerBook G3 FireWire 
(Pismo) running Mac OS X 10.1.5.

The wireless config pref panel shows up, but everything is greyed 
out. The network pref panel shows no 'en1' or 'en2' option.

The card is a NETGEAR MA401, which is listed in the supported cards page.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

The troubleshooting info script output is below. It seems to see the 
card since it can identify it; then it says "WirelessDriver: Couldn't 
find a WirelessDriver service in registry - is the card loaded?"

The card is in the slot, and the green light is on, so it looks loaded to me.

kmodstat says

[localhost:~] sderose% sudo kmodstat -n com.apple.iokit.IOPCCardFamily

[localhost:~] sderose% sudo kmodstat -n org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver
Id Refs Address    Size       Wired      Name (Version) <Linked Against>
[localhost:~] sderose%

The second one looks awful suspicious....


When I try to follow the config instructions, there is no 'en1' or 
'en2' in the network preferences pane; I only have "Built-in 
Ethernet", "Internal Modem", and "irDA Modem Port" in the Active 
Network Ports list. The Built-in Ethernet is in use and configured 
for local DHCP via a LinkSys router to DSL.

Any ideas on how to get this up and running?

Usage - WirelessConfig [-showstatus] or WirelessConfig [-showstatus] 
<-netname <network>> [-wepkey <key>] [-keyslot <slot>]
  -netname <name>     Sets the network name - enclose in double quotes
                       if your network contains a space.

  -wepkey <hex key>   Sets your network key, if ommited the network is
                       assumed to not have wep.

  -keyslot <[1-4]>    Sets which keyslot to have your key in. If
                       ommited keyslot 1 is assumed.

  -status             Prints out the network information, includes
                       signal strength.

  -writeprefs         Writes out the options to the preference file in 
~/Library/Preferences/org.noncontinuous.wirelessdriver

With no options set or just the status, WirelessConfig will look for 
the preferences made by the preference pane in 
~/Library/Preferences/org.noncontinuous.WirelessDriver.
