[Wirelessdriver-support] royally messed up my mac

[b p <ani...@ya...>]

Hi all, 

I've royally screwed up while trying to get this
driver to work with my wireless card.

I've gone and installed the "IOPCCardFamily v.1.1.0
installer" without reading the doc closely enough
first. And I was running OS X 10.2.4 - now i've got an
older IOPCCardFamily.kext and I can't locate a proper
version. My pc wireless card no longer shows up in the
taskbar on the upper right corner on my desktop. 

Is it possible to replace the extension file with the
correct version I should have, and everything will
work? I've updated to OS X 10.2.6 currently.

My previous problem was that the Wireless Driver
wasn't installing correctly. However, even after
installing the files manually and wiping the cache
files I would still only get a greyed out "Network
Configuration" in the System Prefs->WirelessConfig
panel. I tried every solution I could find on the list
archives having to do with getting EN1 or EN2 to show
up in System Prefs->Network, but no go. 

It must have been in my endless frustration that I
stupidly replaced my IOPCCard kext file. No I'm doubly
screwed. 

I'm running:
Ti Powerbook G4 rev 3
OS X 10.2.6
Proxim Orinoco Silver 802.11a/b combo card


(before I messed up the IOPCCardFamily kext file, the
wireless card would show up in the upper right corner
with the only option selectable as "Power Off"

Any Suggestions including how to back up my system to
an older OS X version without losing all my files
would be greatly appreciated. I'm a new mac user.

Thank you!
