[Wirelessdriver-support] lost ip address

[hjohn s. <jsc...@ad...>]

i am running os10.2 on my mac wallstreet powerbook with a sonnet g4 
upgrade card and a gold orinoco pc card using the sourceforge wireless 
driver beta_5. everything was working fine for a while but lately, 
whenever i boot into 10.2 from 9.2.2, my computer joins my specific 
"closed" airport base station (graphite) network ok but self assigns a 
new ip address that won't let me connect to the internet. the self 
assigned ip address is 169.254.249.xxx. if i go to tcp/ip "manual" and 
type in a 10.0.1.x ip address and my airport base station router address 
it still doesn't work. if i reboot into 9 and reconfigure my airport 
base station network to "open" using the airport admin utility and then 
reboot into 10 the dhcp server assigns the correct ip address (10.0.1.x) 
and i can connect to the net. i tried reinstalling the sourceforge 
driver without luck. i don't understand os10 well enough to know where 
to make adjustments. i don't understand how i can be connected to my 
specific airport base station network with a strong signal and not get 
the proper ip address assigned.

another symptom i noticed is that when the problem first showed up it 
started taking (and continues to take) much longer than usual for my 
startup sequence in os10 to get through the "waiting for network 
initialization" step.

i don't recall having installed any new software or having made any 
other changes to my system just prior to the problem showing up.

i have two other computers on my airport base station network, one 
running 9.2.2 and one 10.2 and they both work fine.

[Wirelessdriver-support] 1.0b6 not working on Tiger

[Gary D. <gd...@ma...>]

I have a Microsoft MN-510 USB adapter which is based on the Prism 2.5  
chipset. I was previously using this device on a Rev B iMac G3 with  
Panther and an older version of the driver. I got perfect wireless  
reception with this combination.

This morning I downloaded the latest version of the driver and  
plugged the same MN-510 into my Mini. No luck. The preference pane is  
there but the MN-510 is not in the list of network devices in the  
Network preference pane.

Is the Prism 2.5 chipset no longer supported by the driver? Any help  
is appreciated!

[Wirelessdriver-support] Desperately seeking Help w/ Orinoco Silver/Panther WirelessDriver Install

[Miguel Tejada-F. <mig...@ea...>]

Desperately need help or advice.  My hardware:  a Titanium Powerbook 500
Software:  10.3 (Panther)
My home WiFi system runs off a 1st-Gen Apple Base Station - and works fine
with both iBooks and iMacs equipped with airport cards.  It is a
non-encrypted non-password protected home network.

So what's my problem?  It has to do with my new WiFi Card -  an Orinoco
Silver "b" card
Downloaded the latest WiFi sourceforge Installer for OS 10.2 (at least, the
latest one on the website).  Did the initial install fine...BUT -

In my System Preferences, when I select Network - there is NO EN1 or EN2
Interface.  The only interfaces listed are the default ones - Internet
Connect, Ethernet, or iRDA.

However, at the bottom of the entire ('Show All') System Preferences window,
there is a new 'Preference Pane' (under the new Category 'Other') - which
says "Wireless Config".  Unfortunately, when I access it, everything in it
is GREYED OUT

So then I tried doing the following (described in the sourceforge FAQ) -
opening the terminal App and typing in:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext
sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

I've done this a number of times and get different and varying error
messages - things like "no such bundle file exists" - or "can't add kernel
extension sudo".

Then I ran the "Troubleshooting Info" command - it gave me the following --

[Wirelessdriver-support] Modrak Patch Source, anyone???

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

Does anyone have access to the source code for the modrak patch for the 
sourceforge wireless driver to enable it to be used with KisMac?

I cannot contact Modrak due to a lack of a valid email address.

This patch was described and binary provided at:

http://www.netstumbler.org/archive/index.php/t-15852.html
and
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1219280&group_id=34453&atid=411312

Thanks

[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

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.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Guide to Prism 2/2.5 cards with KisMac and Wireless Driver

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

I am posting my first draft here in the forums for peer review before 
posting on the KisMac wiki. I am crossposting with two groups for the 
SourceForge driver as well. If you have anything to add or correct, please 
let me know. Text inside of brackets [] is not really part of the Guide, but 
a solicitation for more information.

Introduction:

A high output, high senstitivity 802.11b card with external antenna jacks is 
an excellent choice for scanning for networks with tools such as KisMac as 
well as connecting to networks. There are several such cards using versions 
of the PRISM chip set. This guide summarizes the installation procedures and 
functionality that you are likely to achieve with various versions of OS X.

I prefer the PRISM 2 chipset over the newer PRISM GT chipset for 802.11g 
cards, because there are no high output high senstivity PRISM GT 802.11g 
cards with a external antenna connector that I could find. [If you are aware 
of such a PRISM GT card, please let me know.]

Note: I did not test WEP because support varies within PRISM cards. You may 
be limited to connecting to open networks. These procedures were tested on 
an open network.

I hope to see further development/debugging of the SourceForge Wireless 
Driver to fix the flakiness, and make WEP and Mac address configuration work 
more consistently.

Jaguar (10.2.8)

Functionality achieved: You should find that you are able to connect to 
networks with your card, scan with Kismac, and change Mac Addresses with 
WirelessMac. Be sure to reboot after you scan before connecting to a network 
because Kismac is flakey about unloading the driver. Also I would recommend 
a reboot after changing the Mac address before connecting to a network with 
a custom Mac address and maybe another reboot after configuring the Network 
control panel to use what the operating system perceives as a "new" adapter.

1) Install version 1.0.0 b5 of the SourceForge Wireless Driver according to 
the instructions.
2) Insert your wireless card and determine the IOName of your card using the 
command

/usr/sbin/ioreg -l | grep pccard

3) In the terminal issue the su command to become the root user and then cd 
into /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents.

4) Edit the info.plist file (with pico) and look for the following section.

                <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>

If your card is not already present, follow the pattern to add it at the 
bottom of the list.

5) Save the file and SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER FOR A COLD BOOT. You can leave 
the card inserted through the remainder of these steps. (The Wireless driver 
is a little flakey and may not recognize the card right away, even with a 
warm boot, so a cold boot should get it working with your card.)

6) Restart your computer, and verify the card is recognized by issuing the 
following command in Terminal

ifconfig

You should see a new ethernet adaptor listed, such as en2 or en3. If you are 
not in the vicinity of an open wireless network, move your computer to one 
to test that you connect. You should then be able to setup the network name 
to connect to and the Network settings in the system Preferences. If you 
can't connect, do an extra restart after setting up your settings, or change 
the location to something else and back (its a little flakey).

7) Install KisMac KisMAC012a per the instructions and choose to install the 
Wireless Driver Patch.

[Group, what is the latest version of KisMac that can run in Jaguar? I 
guessed this is the latest one for Jaguar, but correct me if I am wrong.]

When finished using your wireless card, shutdown before removing it, as the 
OS is not too keen on removal of the card and you may have system crashes. 
Power Off card in the menu bar does not work - it just comes right back, so 
shut down to remove the card.

Panther (10.3.9)

I tried version 1.0.0 b5 of the SourceForge Wireless Driver and it is 
completely nonfunctional in 10.3.9. I think Apple did something in this last 
release of Panther to break it and I saw such speculation in the forums.

Panther (10.3.3)

Functionality achieved: Mac OS X Panther is really not a good operating 
system for Prism 2 based wireless cards and KisMac. My recommendation if you 
want to use KisMac with theSourceForge driver and a high sensitivity card is 
to go back to Jaguar, or forward to Tiger.

Follow steps 1 - 6 above for general use of your Wireless Card. KisMac 0.12a 
kernal panicked when I tried to scan months ago and I heard similar results 
from at least one other person in posts. I don't know about other versions 
(not having time to reformat my Panther drive to take it back level to 
10.3.3 after trying 10.3.9 in order to try R62).

Tiger (10.4.2)

Functionality achieved: You should be able to connect to Wireless networks 
and use KisMac. WirelessMac sets the Mac address inside of info.plist but 
the Wireless driver will not pick it up and will not use it, apparently not 
even with the modrak patch.
1) Install version Beta 6 of the SourceForge Wireless Driver according to 
the instructions.
2) Insert your wireless card and determine the IOName of your card using the 
command

/usr/sbin/ioreg -l | grep pccard

3) In the terminal issue the su command to become the root user and then cd 
into /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents.

4) Edit the info.plist file and look for the following section.

                <key>everything else</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
                        <string>org.noncontiguous.WirelessDriver</string>
                        <key>IOClass</key>
                        <string>org_noncontiguous_WirelessDriver</string>
                        <key>IOMACAddress</key>
                        <string>00:11:22:33:44:55</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>

If your card is not already present, follow the pattern to add it at the 
bottom of the list.

5) Save the file and SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER FOR A COLD BOOT. You can leave 
the card inserted through the remainder of these steps. (The Wireless driver 
is a little flakey and may not recognize the card right away, even with a 
warm boot, so a cold boot should get it working with your card.)

6) Restart your computer, and verify the card is recognized by issuing the 
folling command in Terminal

ifconfig

You should see a new ethernet adaptor listed, such as en2 or en3. If you are 
not in the vicinity of an open wireless network, move your computer to one 
to test that you connect. You should then be able to setup the network name 
to connect to and the Network settings in the system Preferences. If you 
can't connect, do an extra restart after setting up your settings, or change 
the location to something else and back (its a little flakey).

7) Install KisMac R63 or later per the instructions and choose to install 
the Wireless Driver Patch. I used KisMac R67, the latest one with a prebuilt 
installer.

8) Install modrak patch to wireless driver to enable operation with KisMac. 
(This was also advertised as allowing changing of Mac address of the PRISM 
based card.) The next few steps come from

http://www.netstumbler.org/archive/index.php/t-15852.html
and
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1219280&group_id=34453&atid=411312

9) Download http://3web.dkm.cz/modrak/WirelessDriver.kext.zip

[Note: The source for the modrak patch has not been posted or shared to my 
knowlege. I am hoping that someone comes forward with it so it can be merged 
into the CVS along with the susumu fix of July. I did not install the Susumu 
fix, as I chose the modrak patch instead.]

10) Unpack the kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ -- you'll need to 
authenticate..
11) In Terminal, execute the following commands
su
(enter root password)
chown -R root /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext
chgrp -R wheel /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext

Also, you will need to reinsert your card's IOName in the info.plist file if 
you had to do it above.  Do so at this time.

12) PERFORM A COLD BOOT.

[Wirelessdriver-support] NetGear WPN511

[Robert P. <bo...@pe...>]

I was told this card uses the Atheros AR5212 chipset.  Does the 
wireless driver support it?  If not, does anybody know of a driver that 
does?

[Wirelessdriver-support] Wireless Driver with KisMac and Tiger; 2 latest Tiger Fixes

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

A person going by the name of  "modrak" has posted a fix for the Wireless 
Driver to allow use with Kismac in Tiger, along with instructions at

http://www.netstumbler.org/archive/index.php/t-15852.html
and
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1219280&group_id=34453&atid=411312

These web pages contain a link to a binary 
(http://3web.dkm.cz/modrak/WirelessDriver.kext.zip) and he/she offered to 
share source code. I tried to email to request this version of the source 
code, but could only guess at the email address and my message failed, so I 
post publicly hoping he/she is on the forums.

Antoine, you might want to note for your "little guide to MAC address 
customization" that this "modrak" version indicates it allows the Mac 
Address to be set in Tiger. (I didn't test it yet because I just got Tiger 
and am having an issue with the official Beta 6 (which I decided to try 
first) not recognizing my card even though it did in Jaguar.)

Narita Susumu also posted a bug fix at 
http://homepage.mac.com/mindtools/WirelessCard.zip to correct "[ 933643 ] 
Kernel Pnic after Kick Out"

I hope both the modrak and susumu fixes can be brought together into the 
main code in cvs.

[Wirelessdriver-support] NetGear RangeMax Products

[Robert P. <bo...@pe...>]

Does anybody know if the driver will work with these products?  They 
are 802.11g.

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Wireless Driver and Panther

[Matthieu L. <mla...@ma...>]

Yup they do, my bad! But they do make KisMAC Kernel Panic every  
single time it tries to unload the drivers... with or without the  
patch, any clues?

[Wirelessdriver-support] RE: [kismac] little guide to MAC address customization

[Java N. <jav...@ho...>]

Thanks for posting this guide. I would like to share its existence with the 
readers of the Source Forge driver support and development lists. The 
complete guide is posted at

http://kismac.binaervarianz.de/wiki/wiki.php/KisMAC/FAQTechnicalMacCustomization

I also have some suggestions for making the guide more complete. By sharing 
this, the readers of either the Kismac list or the source forge lists can 
make contributions of information.

Here are come comments and questions for all to review, with exerpts of the 
guide quoted for context....


>AIRPORT EXTREME
>Tested on Panther and Tiger, but might work on all X OSes.....

Hopefully someone could test and indicate whether this works in Jaguar 
(10.2.8).

>PRISM 2 & ORINOCO CARDS
...
>- Panther: WirelessMac does not work in Panther. Patch the kernel following
>the instruction posted here ....

Please include link to the referenced instructions for Panther.

>- Tiger: method not supported. the patch for the sf driver is not yet 
>ported
>to Tiger.

Has anyone began to look at what it would take to port the patch? Would the 
programming changes to patch it be similar or totally different?

>PRISMGT CARDS
...>Note: PrismGT based cards are increasingly difficult to find as vendors 
are
>silently replacing the chipset in these cards without anyway of knowing. 
>Try
>your card before you buy it.

A list of vendors known or believed likely to be shipping Prism GT cards 
would be helpful. If anyone got a PRISM GT Card please speak up on what kind 
and where obtained.

>USB PRISM2 DEVICES
>On all Mac OSes, flash the firmware following this set of instructions and
>the Windows exe firmware patcher from
>http://www.frars.org.uk/cgi-bin/render.pl?pageid=1109.
>Note: Do this at own risk!

Is there a Mac based flasher, or do we really have to flash it in Windows? 
Does it hurt the card if one does it repeatedly?

>OTHER CHIPSETS

What are the leading chipsets used in wireless cards available for purchase 
today? Which are increasing in popularity and which are declining?

[Wirelessdriver-support] Wireless Driver and Panther

[Matthieu L. <mla...@ma...>]

Hello there,
     I am trying to get the drivers to work under panther (10.3.9)  
with the latest build of the driver (beta 6 for tiger) and my Linksys  
WPC11. I am having a bit of a hard time. When I load the prefpane or  
the config tool everything is disabled and I am unable to configure  
the network. So I tried building my own kext for panther using xCode  
2.1 (with panther SDK). Same problem. I get the following message in  
the console log : "WirelessDriver: Couldn't find a WirelessDriver  
service in registry - is the card loaded?". When I try to load the  
kext with kextload (-t) I get the following error:
Missing dependencies
{
     "com.apple.iokit.IOPCCardFamily" =
         "A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
     "com.apple.kernel.iokit" =
         "A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
     "com.apple.kpi.bsd" =
         "A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
     "com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily" =
         "A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
}

Anyone could help? Is there a Panther binary out there?

Many thanks,
Matth

[Wirelessdriver-support] wireless driver very slow

[Venkata M. <ve...@cs...>]

Hi. I have a mac powerbook g3 with a brown keyboard (second
gen I think) running OS X 10.1.5. I installed the wireless driver
package for this version and am using an Orinoco Silver 802.11b
card. Everything installed fine, WEP works fine, and the card
gets it's IP address from the dhcp server. The problem is that the
network is extremely slow when using this config. I can get to
any website, but it very slow (takes several minutes to load). Any idea
what could be the problem? Thanks.

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Tiger support?

[Debbie W. <wa...@ez...>]

I'm running it on Tiger. Works great, same as before!

[Wirelessdriver-support] Tiger support?

[Jason H. <jas...@gm...>]

I'm sure this has already been asked if this list is still active, but
I could not find a way to search the list archives and the SF web page
hasn't been updated in ages.

Does WirelessDriver work with Tiger? What's the latest on this
project? Is it still maintained?

Thanks!

I tried the alternate and got the same time-out error on login.  I also =20=

[Wirelessdriver-support] Proximo Orinoco Gold USB/ Buffalo Airstation USB

[Greg S. <gr...@gr...>]

Hi All-

I have a powerbook 12" and I've been trying to figure out how to get  
an external antenna setup. I read a little about the Lucent Orinoco  
Gold USB cards that used to have the PC cards in them and could be  
moded to have an external antenna, but does anyone know number one if  
the wireless driver supports either of these two devices (buffalo  
airstation USB or proximo USB) and number two if the proximo orinoco  
gold USB adapter is built the same way as it's older brother the  
lucent (with a pc card?)?

Thanks,
Greg

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] D-link is poopy

[rattatosk <rat...@ti...>]

It's a sad story.
I bought one  half year ago.
Never worked on Mac OS X. Runs perfectly on Windows... :(

D-Link = Pc only support.. Mac support = *?@!!

I know this doesn't really help, but I just want to state : stay away from 
their products on Mac.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Pref pane installer

[Dennis R. <ch...@wh...>]

I am trying to install the OSX driver for my Enterasys WiFi 802.11 DS 
High Rate PC card. I pestered wegener media until they sent me the 
driver; or what I hoped was the driver. The install instructions said 
to not use the regular installer, but to install the three packages 
ConfigApps.pkg, WirelessDriver.pkg, and PrefPane.pkg separately. The 
first two appeared to install correctly but the PrefPane.pkg delivered 
the can't do message which I attached; there was no default & OSX is on 
Zephyr II. The tech goes over my head early; I'm the bozo that just 
wants the card to work.

Thanks for any help, Dennis Reed <ch...@wh...>

I think it is fixed.  Try it.  If it complains when you reboot, then it 
is the old one.  I think the date is a feature of sourceforge.net's edit 
files setup.

The file posted on the Files page as Beta 6 for Tiger still shows a date of 
2005-06-01 15:35, one day earlier than Rob's message.

Is this the fixed file, or still the broken one?

Thanks

[Wirelessdriver-support] Lucent WaveLAN Bronze WEP support

[FluffyWithTeeth <flu...@gm...>]

The site guide seems to show that WEP status on the Bronzes isn't
clear, so I thought I'd help with that. On my card, and I'm guessing
the rest, it has written on the bottom that the card does not support
WEP, so I doubt you could get it to work however hard you tried with
the drivers ;)
