[Wirelessdriver-support] Fwd: Problems with 10.2.2 and Lucent Orinoco [problem solved]

[Damon C. <da...@vi...>]

Just got caught up on some of the recent conversations on this topic.

Further information on what I was seeing:

1) My card was not blinking
2) There was a little icon in the menu bar.  When I'd click it, I get:
  [greyed out]:  Lucent Technologies WaveLan/IEEE"
  [not grey]:  Power off Card
3) When I'd remove and re-insert the card I'd get:
2002-11-26 13:04:16.199 SystemUIServer[460] Warning: TIFF image with 
unknown extra samples assumed to have unassociated alpha. RGB values 
have been premultiplied. Use tiffutil -cat to fix.
Repeated several times...
4) In the Network System Preferences area, there was no way to select a 
  second network "en2" or any other.  Just irDa port, Internal Modem, 
Ethernet, and Airport.  The airport works fine with my wireless lan, by 
the way, but I'm trying to improve the range (Titanium, you know)
5) The WirelessConfig option does show up in the Other section of 
System Preferences.  However, as described by others, all fields are 
greyed out.
6) As you can see in my Troubleshooting output, several things are 
obviously not where they should be.  Other postings of troubleshooter 
have shown files that I don't have, for example:
drwxr-xr-x    3 root  wheel   102 Nov 22 22:20 WirelessDriver.kext

I've run the installer (twice even, as was suggested by "Y" in a 
previous message), and I accepted the default location to install the 
wireless driver.

--
UPDATE:    I went searching for the .kext files and found that these 
kernel extension files go into /System/Library/Extensions .   I re-ran 
the installer and selected this directory during installation.

I did need to restart my machine and the base station, but after that 
it worked like a charm.

Heavenly!  My TiBook range is now livable.  :)

Thanks,
Damon
