[Wirelessdriver-support] MA401 blues

[John G. <py...@mi...>]

O.k, I've been pouring over posts on this list from the last 2 months 
plus, and it seems that the problem with Netgear's MA401RA card hasn't 
been resolved. I bought one today (no I didn't visit this list first!) 
and I've done everything suggested on this list with no success. I've 
done the multiple installs with restarts in between each one. I've 
uninstalled and reinstalled. I've edited the info.plist file and added 
the correct card info. I've downloaded a flash upgrade for my wireless 
router and installed it. All for nothing. I've got no (en1) in my 
network preferences and no way to connect.

Has anyone ever managed to find a way to make this thing work?

Thanks
John Goodnough
