Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Removing files from terminal

[<ro...@sp...>]

You don't have to reboot the computer in Singleuser mode to remove the=20=

kextcache files. Start up as usual. Then open the Terminal and enter=20
sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and then sudo rm -r=20
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext  when you are done restart the=20
computer. The files will be recreated on startup so they will be there=20=

after the next startup. If the wirelessdriver.kext driver is installed=20=

properly it should be loaded now.
