[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: unbranded card.

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Marc,

The same problem occurred for me. I've got an unbranded card that I use  
in an upgraded wallstreet powerbook under panther 10.3.6. At first, the  
card couldn't be recognized. Then I found a hint on the web suggesting  
that removing two files from the /System/Library folder as told in the  
first topic on the FAQ page  
http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/faq.html.

  sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
  sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

It seems that after reboot, these two files are recreated. At least for  
me, this solution worked. Hope it helps.

Peter
