[Wirelessdriver-support] Lombard Success on 10.2.4... but with questions

[MusOX <mu...@mu...>]

Hello all,=0D
=0D
First I would like to document how I was able to get the wireless network s=
etup.=0D
=0D
Setup:=0D
I am using an Orinoco Gold card I installed the 10.0.0b5.1 WirelessDriver d=
river on a PowerBook G3 333 Lombard running 10.2.4 by clicking on the indiv=
idual installers located in the =93Installers=94 folder.  There was an issu=
e in that the PreferencePane was installed in /System/Library/PreferencePan=
es/.  I just typed the command in the terminal (sudo mv =93/System/Library/=
PreferencePanes/WirelessDriver PPane.prefPane=94 /Library/PreferencePanes/)=
  When I installed the ConfigApps.pkg it placed the SigMeter and the Wirel=
essConfig in a custom folder (Not the default Applications folder).  =0D
=0D
The next step was to install the Utilities by the command (sudo cp =93/Volu=
mes/WirelessDriver beta 5.1/Utilities/WirelessConfig=94 /usr/local/bin/) an=
d copied the Troubleshooting Info.command to the same folder as the SigMete=
r and WirelessConfig applications were located.=0D
=0D
When I first executed the Troubleshooting Info.command I noticed I didn=92t=
 receive all of the information it was requesting so I modified the command=
 on line 17 to read =93ls -la /System/Library/Extensions | grep AirPort=94 =
  (there is a capital =93P=94 to make this work)=0D
=0D
My Access Point is  D-Link614+, which also allows my wife=92s Windows XP ma=
chine to connect via a D-Link PCI card.=0D

Issues:=0D
I cannot enable WEP (64 or 128) even though the FAQ on the WirelessDriver H=
omepage 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 enable=
d).  When I had WEP enabled and executed the Troubleshooting Info.command, =
it still stated at the bottom =93WEP Enabled: NO=94.  My work around is usi=
ng MAC address filtering so only the two specific machines that I want can =
access the AP.  As a FYI, the Firewall is disabled.=0D
=0D
The SigMeter doesn=92t work.  I did see the message from Tom Pollard about =
the missing SigStrength.nib file, however, when I attempted to replicate hi=
s solution it didn=92t work.  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?=

Questions:=0D
Is there a =93Stumbler=94 that can search for SSIDs.  MacStumbler kept quit=
ing upon startup, iStumbler said it only supported AirPort Cards at this ti=
me, KisMac didn=92t work, and I can=92t compile AirSnort b/c Fink is not le=
tting me download the GTK+ after I installed Apple=92s X11.=0D
=0D
Could/is the WEP issue be resolved by a new AP?  I noticed that some is req=
uesting D-Link DWL 650+ support and in the faq.html on the WirelessDriver H=
omepage there is =93NO=94 on both support and WEP.=0D
=0D
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 increa=
sing.  The Linksis was originally en1, the 1st Orinoco card was en2, now I=
=92m on en3.  Is there any way to remove the old card BSD names so that my =
current card reads en1.  Guess I=92m just picky on that=85=0D

Any replies/comments would be greatly appreciated on both of these question=
s.  My Troubleshooting Info.command results are available at http://www.mus=

Thanks,=0D
