[Wirelessdriver-support] It's me Modrak. Author of the binary for tiger.

[Ondra S. <on...@di...>]

So.Everything is a BIG coincidence.
My story begins when I upgraded to Tiger and my orinco card stopped =20
working. I slowly started to spare some money for classic airport =20
card which is expensive as hell here in cz ,about 170$ (US)
Then googlin around for orinoco antena connector, I went to this page >>
http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/WirelessDriver

After reading it, I downloaded the http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/=20
WirelessCard.zip zipped sources which look to be CVS version of =20
wirelessdriver with this >> http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?=20
func=3Ddetail&aid=3D1195323&group_id=3D34453&atid=3D411314 patch for =
tiger.

The I wanted to install KisMac, because wirelessdriver has no =20
scanning, for me, hotspot guy, is useless. Installing KisMac with the =20=

Orinoco unloading patch did the kext unusable, then I realized that =20
KisMac overwrited my Tiger version with the 3 years old patched =20
version :/
So again, I continued to spare money for airport card.
Again one day I was googling for mac adress faking on Mac OS X (my =20
ISP allows only 1 MAC and the router crashed :/ ), It bring me up to =20
sourceforge, wireless driver section of patches....WOW...the most =20
simple think...downloaded the patch, read a man page for =20
patch...tryied patch -p1...damn :/, tried patch -p0, works fine, =20
recompiled the driver with no hassle.  So I decided to post the =20
binary for easy installation.

Then after more than 2 months, googling for some hack to get Visor =20
and Orinoco together, I ended guess where :))
On 2003 archive of wirelessdriver mailing list :)) So I went to 2005, =20=

August and there is somebody who finaly want's my patch.
Okay, I never did nothing more than downloading, patching with old =20
patches and clicking "Build" .
Also the card stopped crashing the system when removed and inserted =20
again.Just reload the kernel extension

So even my mum could do that.
