Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] NetGear MA401 on TiBook 800 DVI

[Mr.Fletcher <ec...@ti...>]

Well, i didn't actually notice the type until you pointed it out, anyway 
it wasn't enough to simply correct it, i needed to erase the 
Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext files too.

Right now the card is correctly working, i made some tests with another 
card too (a zyxel ZyAIR 100 - 
ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/ZyAIR_B-100/document/ZyAIR_B-100_V.2_Datasheet.pdf) 
and managed to make it work patching the info.plist file and again 
erasing the files and restarting.

I noticed that the zyxel card isn't listed in the FAQ yet, unfortunately 
i still have no idea on how to test the wep functionality of the card, 
if someone can point me to some tutorial or give me some directions i 
would like to make some extensive testing.
in the meanwhile i can say that basic functionality is supported.

Thanks for your help so far!
Cheers,
Marcello
