[Wirelessdriver-support] troubleshooting Wallstreet Orinoco card

[Paul C. <pjc...@ve...>]

Folks,

The last list message from the fellow with Panther mentioned using 'kextload 
-t' to check for problems. I didn't know of that utility. So, I read the 
manpage, ran the 'Troubleshooting Info' script to get a list of kernel 
extensions for the wireless card and test each in kextload's verbose mode. 
Verbose level 1 is "basic kext scanning information" and seems to give 
enought information.

If someone on the list recognizes and item in this report, and can suggest
something, let me or the list (preferably) know. Thanks.

Paul

P.S. I'm running a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet with 10.2.8 and an Orinoco Silver 
PC Card. I have a Buffalo card on order, arriving early next week. 
(Naturally, if it is successful, I'll post that fact.)

Test:
---
% sudo kextload -t -v 1 /System/Library/Extensions WirelessDriver.kext
kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleADBButtons.kext is not valid
kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleStorageDrivers.kext/Contents/
PlugIns/StorageLynx.kext is not valid
kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBDisplays.kext is not valid
kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/InternalModemSupport.kext is not 
valid
kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAPIProtocolTransport.kext is

kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/UltraTek66.kext is not valid
kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/webdav_fs.kext is not valid
kextload: kext /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext is not valid
can't add kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions (not a bundle) (run 
kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output)
kextload: resolving dependencies for kernel extensions with validation and 
authentication failures
kernel extension WirelessDriver.kext has problems:
Validation failures
{
    "Kext has a kernel dependency prior to version 6.0 and CFBundleVersion 
does not match executable's MODULE_VERSION" = true
}

Note the other kernel extensions listed in the Troubleshooting Info report 
load just fine in the simpler '-t' mode but complain about other extensions 
when run in '-v 1' mode. These appear to be the same ones showing 'is not 
valid' in the report above.
