[Wirelessdriver-support] wallstreet + FA401 problems

[<wir...@re...>]

The archives suggest that other people have managed to get a Netgear
FA401 card working with a Wallstreet PowerBook and Jaguar. I've been
trying for the last several weekends, and haven't had any luck. Can
anyone offer any suggestions?

I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.3 (build 6G30) on a Rev. A Wallstreet
(PowerBook G3 series version 2.2, according to System Profiler)

Driver installation went fine, and WirelessConfig is in System
Preferences.

I rebooted with the card inserted, and the "Link" light turned green
during the boot process--a good sign I thought. But I don't have any
new ethernet devices in the Network control panel, and everything in
the WirelessConfig control panel is greyed out.

The Console Log contains several copies of this message:

1973-02-13 19:55:59.067 System Preferences[374] Iterations: 0
WirelessDriver: Couldn't find a WirelessDriver service in registry - is
the card loaded?
