[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: Wirelessdriver-support digest, Vol 1 #409 - 1 msg

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

I'm running os x 10.2.6 now, the latest update i
think.
In any case I was able to tar and copy the
IOPCCardFamily extension files off a friend computer. 

Now it's kext ver 1.3.2 which I'm assuming is the
latest and greatest  =)

So am i up the creek with this card then? I didn't
suspect that there were so many flavors of Orinoco
Silver out there. But this was the only one I found,
the other being the Orinoco Gold and I had purchased
the silver version based on the many reports of users
successfully using it under os x. Anyway, this is the
exact card I bought:

was i supposed to have gotten this one instead?
http://www.computers4sure.com/Product.asp?ProductID=1684886&iid=342

darn, so should i ebay this card? or is there any
chance that new driver updates will support this combo
card?

thanks for the help!
