[Wirelessdriver-support] success! thank you!

[jason <ja...@th...>]

To Bruce Thomson and  Y -

Many thanks for your advice on the wireless driver.  It is now working 
with a orinoco gold card as well as with the built in airport card.  I 
will have to double-check if it works with the netgear card as well; 
(both belong to friends and I was trying to decide which one to 
purchase for myself) and then I can get one.

I tried Bruce's solution (listed below) first, because it seemed easier 
and I am not so happy inside Terminal.  With the card inserted, the 
second install attempt failed (not sure why) but then I just ran it 
again, which seemed to work, on the third try.  I then ran Repair 
Permissions (they changed this in Jag from "Repair Privaleges"), 
re-booted, found the new en2 path, and ZAM! I was online, much better 
reception then the aircard. Why didn't they get that right?

So -

Many thanks, very appreciated, and best to all,

Jason Danziger
