[Wirelessdriver-support] No installer with 5_1.mpkg?

[Dale S. <dts...@ma...>]

Hi again. Thanks for the good information all who replied. I am now 
in the middle of installing the 5_1.mpkg beta driver but seem to be 
stuck as I can't get an installer to run. I've removed the earlier 
driver but there doesn't seem to be an installer app to run in the 
download for 5_1. Am i missing something here? At this point, I gone 
back to the version 4 driver without jaguar installed.

Any help appreciated.

Dale
