[Wirelessdriver-support] Installation not working on 10.2.5 with Netgear 401RA

[Roland B. <ro...@qu...>]

Hi,

I've been trying to get the latest version (beta5.1) installed but 
despite following some suggestions in the FAQ and manual intervention, 
no success. Here brief description followed by a pasted troubleshooting 
script output.

I installed a clean 10.2 on a re-formatted PowerBook G3 Pismo.
Added the 10.2.5 update
Added the Developer package
Installed the Netgear 401RA card
	- card is detected
	- card is 'Green' meaning it found the network (I have a Netgear base 
station which my G4 with Airport card works fine with, the 401RA card 
also works fine when installed in a IBM kaptop)

Rebooted
Ran the package installer for WirelessDriverBeta5.1

	- installed claimed it was successful but it did not install 
WirelessDriver.kext in /System/Library/Extensions

Ran the installer a 2nd time

	- again, did not install via the mpkg

Ran the installer on Installers/WirelessDriver.pgk

	- complained that I could not install on the 'Macintosh HD'
	- used the 'Back' button, reselected and then it installed the driver

Rebooted, driver is not loaded
Ran 'System Preferences'
	- only the build-in ethernet port is shown

Followed the manual load via kextload
	- driver is loaded but does not install a en network interface
	- 'System Preferences' only shows build-in ethernet

Rebooted the machine
	- results as above

Followed the FAQ instructions and edited Info.plist to add the 401 card 
details
Rebooted
Manual load of the kext
	- results as above

Here is the troubleshooting script output. Hopefully this provides some 
clues. Thanx for any suggestions.
