Dan,

I posted a message about a week ago about changing the install docs 
and one of my suggestions covers this.

I see the the 'kext versions' section of your Troubleshooting Info 
report shows the second item is empty. You need to manually edit a 
certain .plist file.  (I used 'sudo pico filename'.) The path to the 
filename is listed below. Here's the relevant section from my 
previous post (which actually references a much older post):

---
2) In the mailing list archives, Rich Johnson's "Recipe to bring up a 
new wireless card" post should be included somewhere in the install 
docs:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5880908

I found I had to run the Troubleshooting Info script as suggested 
after installation, get my card name, and add it to the appropriate 
line, IOName, in 
"/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist"

Only after this did I see the 'en1' interface appear. Then, opening 
System Preferences notified me of a new network adapter at en1, and 
suggested I select the "Apply Now" button, which I did. Opening the 
'WirelessConfig' applet showed the connect to network field is now 
available, where it wasn't before. Opening Network showed 'Ethernet 
Adapter (en1)' also.
---

I believe once you add the line to the file, you will see an 'en1' 
interface show up in 'network info' section of the script's report 
(or when using 'ifconfig' at the Terminal command line.) Also, once 
you do this you will see much more info appear in the 'wirelesscard 
info' section of the report.

I hope this helps out. Someone else on the list may chime in here 
also. Take care.

Paul
