Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] wiresless driver for mac os x for proxim skyline 802.11b usb adapter?

[Faddah S. W. <fad...@ea...>]

ah, rob -- i should have seen your fine hand in on this also.  so yeah, we
can't use your code.  durn.  but thanx for the answer.  the macsense
aeropadplus, by the way is sooooo popular since they finalized your mac os x
platform drivers, macsense can't get enough ingram/microd to keep macmall,
clubmac and others stocked!  good job.  ;-)

but i'm still holding out for the religious institution i'm helping so they
don't have to shell out another $100 for the macsense box, as they already
paid for proxim's solution, and their budget is limited and dependent, like
most religiious non-profits, on cast-aways & donations.

so if anyone else out there has some ideas on how to tweak this proper to
listen to the usb port and use WEP, i'd appreciate some input.  but thanx
again, rob.
