Hello all, First I would like to document how I was able to get the wireless network setup. Setup: I am using an Orinoco Gold card I installed the 10.0.0b5.1 WirelessDriver driver on a PowerBook G3 333 Lombard running 10.2.4 by clicking on the individual installers located in the "Installers" folder. There was an issue in that the PreferencePane was installed in /System/Library/PreferencePanes/. I just typed the command in the terminal (sudo mv "/System/Library/PreferencePanes/WirelessDriver PPane.prefPane" /Library/PreferencePanes/). When I installed the ConfigApps.pkg it placed the SigMeter and the WirelessConfig in a custom folder (Not the default Applications folder). The next step was to install the Utilities by the command (sudo cp "/Volumes/WirelessDriver beta 5.1/Utilities/WirelessConfig" /usr/local/bin/) and copied the Troubleshooting Info.command to the same folder as the SigMeter and WirelessConfig applications were located. When I first executed the Troubleshooting Info.command I noticed I didn't receive all of the information it was requesting so I modified the command on line 17 to read "ls -la /System/Library/Extensions | grep AirPort" (there is a capital "P" to make this work) My Access Point is D-Link614+, which also allows my wife's Windows XP machine to connect via a D-Link PCI card. Issues: I cannot enable WEP (64 or 128) even though the FAQ on the WirelessDriver Homepage states that 128 WEP is supported on the Orinoco Gold card. If I do, the card cannot acquire an IP from the AP (DHCP on the LAN side is enabled). When I had WEP enabled and executed the Troubleshooting Info.command, it still stated at the bottom "WEP Enabled: NO". My work around is using MAC address filtering so only the two specific machines that I want can access the AP. As a FYI, the Firewall is disabled. The SigMeter doesn't work. I did see the message from Tom Pollard about the missing SigStrength.nib file, however, when I attempted to replicate his solution it didn't work. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1669293&forum_id=3055 <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1669293&forum_id=3055> Questions: Is there a "Stumbler" that can search for SSIDs. MacStumbler kept quiting upon startup, iStumbler said it only supported AirPort Cards at this time, KisMac didn't work, and I can't compile AirSnort b/c Fink is not letting me download the GTK+ after I installed Apple's X11. Could/is the WEP issue be resolved by a new AP? I noticed that some is requesting D-Link DWL 650+ support and in the faq.html on the WirelessDriver Homepage there is "NO" on both support and WEP. Wireless Card address increasing. When I first started to test the driver, I borrowed a Linksis card to see if the driver worked. I then borrowed an Orinoco Card to see if that worked and began troubleshooting. I now have a third card (Orinoco) and I have noticed that the BSD names keep on increasing. The Linksis was originally en1, the 1st Orinoco card was en2, now I'm on en3. Is there any way to remove the old card BSD names so that my current card reads en1. Guess I'm just picky on that... Any replies/comments would be greatly appreciated on both of these questions. My Troubleshooting Info.command results are available at http://www.musox.com/macosx/802.11_info.txt <http://www.musox.com/macosx/802.11_info.txt> Thanks, Justin |
