[Wirelessdriver-support] Linksys WPC54G problems

[Jonathan Z. <jo...@po...>]

1) Are there any mailing lists that are dedicated to discussing the 
Linksys (or other brands) 802.11g cards in Macs? Or discussion boards?

2) The soon-to-be-released MacSense universal driver that will support 
Intersil-based 802.11g PC cards won't work with the WPC54G, will it?

3) Problem: PowerBook G4s (400 MHz & 1 GHz) both freeze on startup if 
the Linksys WPC54G is IN the computer, no matter if it was in when the 
computer was on and then shut down, or if it was inserted when the 
computer was already shut down. When the computer is already on, I can 
put in the PC card, and it works fine, connects to the internet, etc. 
However, if it's in when it's started up, the circular thingie stops 
spinning after a few minutes, and it just sits there, visually frozen. 
I've waited about 5 minutes after that point to make sure it was 
frozen, should I wait longer? There is no internal AirPort card 
installed in one of the machines, and there is one on the other 
machine, it seems to make no difference. The card works because I did 
the "Infamous AirPort Extreme hack" from www.osxhax.com. The annoying 
part of this problem is that when I insert the card after the computer 
has started up, I have to open the Network prefs in System Preferences 
and apply the settings, and even then it won't automatically connect to 
the network, I have to select it from the AirPort menu.

4) Bluetooth seems to be messed up when the Linksys card is in and 
using the external D-Link Bluetooth adapter. Anyone else experiencing 
this?
