I started this quest for wireless access with an unsupported card. Now I have a Proxim Orinoco Silver, I was hoping that my problems would end. This is not the case however. i installed the drivers and was disappointed to find that the control panel was still greyed out and not working. I completely wiped my hard-drive and reinstalled os x. After getting all the updates downloaded again I proceeded to install the driver according to this guide. http://musox.com/macosx/wirelessdriver.html After a restart I still got the greyed out control panel. I attempted to edit the plist file as the FAQ describes but that also failed to activate the card. I am just fresh out of ideas. Please someone help. p.s. A small pc card looking icon appears when I insert the card but that is all. Computer is a PB 400 Lombard(bronze keyboard) Card model is 8421-wd WAP is a D-link 614+ ### system info ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.2.6 BuildVersion: 6L60 Darwin Daniel-Hillesheims-Computer.local. 6.6 Darwin Kernel Version 6.6: Thu May 1 21:48:54 PDT 2003; root:xnu/xnu-344.34.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc ppc750 ### wireless driver files installed drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 May 2 01:03 IOPCCardFamily.kext drwxr-xr-x 3 dahilles admin 102 Aug 30 13:30 WirelessDriver PPane.prefPane ### wirelesscard info | | "VersionOneInfo" = ("Agere Systems","Wireless PC Card Model$ | | +-o pccard156,3@0,0 <class IOPCCard16Device> | | "IOName" = "pccard156,3" ### network info lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::250:e4ff:fed0:d27f%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 192.168.0.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:50:e4:d0:d2:7f media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> ### wd command line tool status /Volumes/WirelessDriver beta 5.1/Utilities/Troubleshooting Info.command: WirelessConfig: command not found logout [Process completed] -- Daniel Hillesheim sa...@be... |
