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.
