Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Trouble installing on OS X 10.2.8

[CFlatow <cf...@op...>]

Thank you Paul an others who were helpful.

The online retailer where I bought the card sent me to the Proxim site 
(who made the Skyline card I bought 3 years ago?). This is where I was 
originally told by tech support that they did not have support for OS 
X. As it turns out, there is a link on the Proxim site to 
Versiontracker.
That link was bad, but it got me to search there for a driver. There 
was a driver there which I believe is the same one I originally found 
at Sourceforge.
In the end the answer was found at Versiontracker, where user feedback 
posted there got me over the hump. It's a little complex. You've gotta 
read it yourself. Essentially I metaphorically kicked it and it worked.

Thanks again to all who contributed.

I will pay it forward to anyone who wants to talk it over.

I have no wireless router, so to check that it worked I walked down the 
street until the light on the card stopped flashing, then I got an 
instant message and the rest, as they say, is history.....
