Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Still no luck on my EnGenius card

The EnGenius cards require the Info.plist file to be edited. This is a 
regular repost of the Info.plist modification instructions (until we 
get another release together)...instructions follow, the example given 
will not work for your card, follow the instructions below to get it 
working:

To find out for yourself, the relevant information you need is the 
following:

> ### wirelesscard info
>
>     | |             "VersionOneInfo" = ("3Com","3CRSHPW_96 Wireless 
> LAN PC Card$
>     | |       +-o pccard101,696@0,0  <class IOPCCard16Device>
>     | |             "IOName" = "pccard101,696"

This info comes from following terminal command when the card is 
inserted:

	ioreg -l | grep pccard

Now to test if your card is supportable, you will need to edit the 
info.plist file in the WirelessDriver.kext file.

type the following command in the terminal to edit this file with the 
pico text editor:

sudo pico 
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist

look for the following lines:

		<key>everything else</key>
		<dict>
			<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
			<string>org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver</string>
			<key>IOClass</key>
			<string>org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver</string>
			<key>IONameMatch</key>
			<array>
				<string>pccard156,2</string>
				<string>pccard1eb,807</string>
				<string>pccard274,1613</string>
				<string>pccard274,1612</string>
				<string>pccard138,2</string>
			</array>

and add your pccard string (pccard101,696) as an entry in this array. 
i.e.:

			<array>
				<string>pccard156,2</string>
				<string>pccard1eb,807</string>
				<string>pccard274,1613</string>
				<string>pccard274,1612</string>
				<string>pccard138,2</string>
				<string>pccard101,696</string>
			</array>

to save the file type ctrl-x and accept the changes. View the edited 
file in the terminal to be sure your changes are correct:

more /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist

now try removing and re-inserting the card, if you are lucky it will 
now work!

Let us know if you have success so we can add the card to our list of 
supported cards.
