[Wirelessdriver-support] DWL-650 not recognized

[Peter R. W. <prw...@gm...>]

Greetings,

I have a PowerBook G3 Pismo running Mac OS X 10.4.3. I am trying to  
install a D-Link DWL-650 wireless card. I have downloaded and  
installed the WirelessDriver "Beta 6 For Tiger" (dated June 1, 2005).  
However, the card does not appear to be recognized. It powers up when  
inserted, but it does not show up in the Network or Wireless  
preference panes.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, rebooting the  
laptop, and removing and re-inserting the card several times, all  
with no effect. I have also tried adding the card's IOName pccard  
string to the info.plist file as described in the FAQ (the string I  
added is pccardb,7110):

                 <key>everything else</key>
                 <dict>
                         <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
                         <string>org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver</ 
string>
                         <key>IOClass</key>
                         <string>org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver</ 
string>
                         <key>IONameMatch</key>
                         <array>
                                 <string>pccard156,2</string>
                                 <string>pccard1eb,807</string>
                                 <string>pccard274,1613</string>
                                 <string>pccard274,1612</string>
                                 <string>pccard138,2</string>
                                 <string>pccardb,7110</string>
                         </array>
                         <key>IOProbeScore</key>
                         <integer>1000</integer>
                         <key>IOProviderClass</key>
                         <string>IOPCCard16Device</string>
                 </dict>

This does not seem to have any effect. As best I can determine, the  
card I have is the DWL-650, which is reported on the FAQ as being  
supported, and not the DWL-650+, which is not supported. Everywhere  
on the box, the model number is listed as DWL-650, and there is no +  
sign.

I have included the output of the troubleshooting script below. I'd  
appreciate any assistance you could lend.

WirelessConfig [-showstatus] <-netname <network>> [-wepkey <key>] [- 
keyslot <slot>]
-netname <name>     Sets the network name - enclose in double quotes
                       if your network contains a space.

-wepkey <hex key>   Sets your network key, if ommited the network is
                       assumed to not have wep.

-keyslot <[1-4]>    Sets which keyslot to have your key in. If
                       ommited keyslot 1 is assumed.

-status             Prints out the network information, includes
                       signal strength.

-writeprefs         Writes out the options to the preference file  
in                      ~/Library/Preferences/ 
org.noncontinuous.wirelessdriver

With no options set or just the status, /usr/local/bin/WirelessConfig  
will look for the preferences made by the preference pane in ~/ 
Library/Preferences/org.noncontinuous.WirelessDriver.
