[Wirelessdriver-support] Success with Sohoware NetBlaster II

[Kurt J. <ku...@zo...>]

I have has success using a Sohoware NetBlaster II Wireless PC Card 
unencrypted on OSX 10.2.3 on a Lombard G3 333.  After installing the 
5.1 beta package, I used the modifications to 
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist 
previously posted to the list.   I needed to delete 
/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and 
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext to get it to work. Since I did not 
choose to install OS9, I deleted these files in single user mode, and 
it seemed to do the job.

I am using the Sohoware 802.11b basestation, and have no trouble web 
browsing with Chimera or using the mail client native to Jaguar.

Before I did the modofications to the default installation, en1 would 
not appear in the Network preferences pane, and running WirelessConfig 
from the command line produced and error message complaining that it 
couldn't find a wireless driver service in the registry.

Thanks again to the developers, and to those who posted the fixes 
mentioned above.  I am elated to be able to run 802.11b on my powerbook 
now!
