Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Proxim RangeLAN-DS Support

[<ro...@sp...>]

The card should work with the Wireless drivers. First install the=20
10.2.3 update. Highly recommended because of better PCCard support.=20
Then the Wireless driver b5 for Jaguar. I used Pacifist to install the=20=

driver because the original installer is broken and installs the=20
Wireless.Prefpane in the wrong folder. With Pacifist can I install the=20=

drivers where they should be.

Anyway once you install the driver you have to add support for your=20
card as it is missing. To do that you have to open up the terminal and=20=

type in this in the terminal. Each command is followed by return.

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

Enter your password when asked. The last command opens up the=20
Info.plist file in a terminal editor. Scroll down until you see:
                         <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>

Add <string>pccard126,8000</string> to the list and save the file by=20
pressing ctrl+x and answer the yes when prompted.
Restart the computer and the Network Preferences should prompt when=20
opened that you have a new en1 or en2 port. Setup the en1 or en2 port=20
in the Network preferencens for your Airport settings and you should be=20=

able to start surfing with the wireless card. If the Network=20
Preferences doesn't show up the card port then maybe the wireless=20
driver haven't loaded. If not open up the terminal and enter this=20
command.

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext

Again enter the password when prompted.

If you are not sure how to install the driver you can read the FAQ on=20
the Wireless Driver homepage.=20
