[Wirelessdriver-support] Can't enter ESSID in prefs panel

[dom <do...@cr...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a WaveLan Silver card to work in a Ti G4/500 powerbook
running 10.2.6. The install went smoothly and I can see a card in the
networking prefs panel as en3. When I go to the Wireless Config panel I
can't enter any text in the "Connect to wireless network named:" field.

I suspect the problem is the card is getting assigned en3 instead of en1 or
en2 like the documentation refers to. I do have an apple airport card
installed and working but I would like to get better range. I'm not sure why
en2 is skipped. If this is the problem is there a way to reassign the
interface numbers on OSX? Or maybe a simple config change and recompile?

Here is my output from ifconfig:
