[Wirelessdriver-support] information regarding support for Buffalo 802.11g 54mbps cardbus

[Tom R. <sha...@ya...>]

I ran your troubleshooting script and this is the
information i got.  I hope this helps.  I am new at
this, but want to get the card supported if possible.

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] PCI->PCMCIA support?

[Eric L. <er...@ra...>]

Are there known 'working' PCI->PCMCIA bridges for OS 10.2.X?  I am
just borrowing one from work, and if I can order one online for 25-30
bucks that will work I'd be happy to do it.  I did download the
project and will try turning on the dubbing and see what that does.
Thanks for the advice.

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] PCI->PCMCIA support?

[Rob M. <ro...@ma...>]

The problem here isn't with the WirelessDriver, it's with the lack of 
support for your PCI to PCMCIA adapter in Apple's PCCard support 
module.  You can recompile this module with dubbing enabled and you 
should be able to get something working there, but it's still going to 
require some work to get the setup correct.

[Wirelessdriver-support] PCI->PCMCIA support?

[Eric L. <er...@ra...>]

Hi, I am trying to see if there is any support for running supported
PCMCIA cards in a normal desktop machine via a PCI->PCMCIA bridge.

I downloaded the "Beta 5 for Jaguar" yesterday and tried it, but it
didn't load the driver.  That files looks pretty old, so I was
wondering if perhaps support is just around the corner or what.

So relevant info on my attempt:

Running 10.2.5, 450G4 on a Gigabite board.  Rom 3.4f1

I am using a Lucent PCI->PCMCIA card (015219 Rev. A(Rev 1.0))
Main chip is a PCI1410PGE
On the card it has stamped: REV-2 7th July 2000
PCIC1CR20 P/N 901501

Apple System Profiler recognizes that I have a PC Card inserted [Displays: PCI->PCCard]

Looking at the dmesg output I see:

IOPCCard info:  Mac OS X PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22
IOPCCard info:    options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pnp]
IOPCCardBridge::GetOFConfigurationSettings: failed to the configure machine
IOPCCardBridge::getConfigurationSettings: unable to configure model name "PowerMac3,3".

So it looks suspicously like the driver doesn't like the idea it is
being loaded on non PowerBook.  I went and modified the Info.plist in
the driver file so that it had a PowerMac3,3 entry and rebooted, but
it didn't like that either, same error.  If I wanted to try and work
out the configuration stuff would I need to download the src and
rebuild the driver?

Anyinfo would you useful, thanks!  I might try the IOExperts driver
tonight and see if it recognizes the card.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Intersil Prism 3 USB

[Jason M. <jas...@ie...>]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but...

I'm interested in getting an Intersil USB device working on my OS X 
system but am unable to find a driver for it. Is there a version of the 
WirelessDriver that supports USB devices?

If not, is there work being done to support USB?

I'm a software developer with some experience writing device drivers for 
various OS. If there is no current driver, could someone please contact me 
about how I should go about writing one (what code could be reused).

Thank you,
Jason F. McCarty

[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: [Wirelessdriver-devel] Interest in testing a new version of the WirelessDriver?

[Alf W. <al...@ma...>]

More than happy to help test. I have a TiBook 500 with an assortment of 
cards to play with. I'm also interesting in getting a code drop to 
integrate with iStumbler.

Best,
Alf

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the info - it helps a bit; ie. I now know that it's not as
simple as dropping the CIS file somewhere, tweaking a config file or
two and rebooting :(

Cheers,

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Printing to USB over Airport Extreme

[Rob M. <ro...@ma...>]

This may be related to the AppleTalk issue.  I have this fixed in the 
new development version I will be posting in the next day or so.  I'll 
also try and port the fix back to the original driver for those that 
need/want it.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Printing to USB over Airport Extreme

[David C. <da...@co...>]

Has anyone had any luck printing with the new Airport Extreme base 
station with the wireless drivers? I'm using a WaveLAN Silver (Turbo 
edition) on a Wallstreet. I get web traffic just fine, but Rendezvous 
is no finding the Printer (an Epson Color 740i).

Thanks for any leads.

I have the MacAlly USB card and it fits below my Orinoco Silver Wireless

[Wirelessdriver-support] Interest in testing a new version of the WirelessDriver?

[Rob M. <ro...@ma...>]

A while back I mentioned that I had a new version that I have been 
working on for some time that has all of the missing features that 
everybody's been begging for.  How many adventurous soles are there out 
there that would be interested in testing and/or bug fixing for a new 
and improved version?

It's almost ready for general release.  I'm having some minor issues 
with the PCCard interface still but the rest has been running stable 
for some time in a similar form with a USB interface (sorry - can't 
release the USB code due to the contract terms).  There are one or two 
small issues I know of that are being worked on still, but it does 
support WEP on all Intersil PRISM cards and can do the same for WaveLAN 
and Airport cards with some small changes.  It also supports network 
scanning on newer firmware (I haven't looked into the differences 
between new and old firmware, so I won't guarantee that yet).

Anyone interested should drop me line so I have a current list.  I'll 
be ready to drop code to those willing/able to assist with the final 
bits sometime tomorrow (Monday) evening.  A general release likely 
won't be far behind.

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Slightly-OT: Sierra Wireless AC550

[Rob M. <ro...@ma...>]

At one point last year, I talked to Sierra Wireless on the phone 
(They're 15 minutes away from me by car) and offered to do a driver for 
them if they'd give em a free unit and some technical info, but they 
"didn't see a business case for it".  Oh well...

I've talked with a half a dozen or so people around who want this 
working as well.  The issue here is that OS X rejects all PCCards that 
register as multifunction devices without further consideration unless 
you specifically override that behavior with a custom enabler.  It 
really shouldn't be too difficult, but it requires some knowledge of 
PCCard CIS structures, etc.

Hope that helps,

-Rob

[Wirelessdriver-support] Slightly-OT: Sierra Wireless AC550

[Iain M. <Ds...@Ds...>]

Apologies for the slight abuse of this list, but I don't think I'm *too*
far off-topic, and figure that if I'll find an answer anywhere, it'll
be here.

I have a Sierra Wireless AirCard 550 1xRTT PC Card:

	http://www.sierrawireless.com/ProductsOrdering/AC5501xRTT.asp

which I'd like to get working on my TiBook. It's only officially supported
on Windows, but I found some instructions (which since seem to have
disappeared!) on Sierra's website for getting it to work under Linux. This
involved use of the standard serial_cs kernel module and a CIS file (of which
I have a copy). The following was added to the PCMCIA configuration to have it
recognise the card:

card "Sierra Wireless AirCard 550 A550 Rev 1"
manfid 0x0192, 0xa550
cis "cis/SW_550_SER.dat"
bind "serial_cs" 


How might I go about telling MacOS X.2 to recognise the card as a standard
PC Card serial modem, and maybe to use the CIS file? I figure that if I
get that in place, getting modem scripts to run PPP over it should be
easy...

TIA for any pointers!

[Wirelessdriver-support] Ambient trouble

[John S. <joh...@ya...>]

Hi there--

I've installed the driver, rebooted my system, the
general "help me!" stuff from the FAQ, including
editing the Info.plist, etc, but I can't seem to get
it working at all.

Does it just not work with the Netgear driver?

Here's the system information.

Thanks!

John

[Wirelessdriver-support] New drivers?

[Michael Y. <com...@ho...>]

Hello everyone, I am new to this group.

First of all, I have to say this is a very great program for all of the OSX
users out there wants wireless capability.

I went on the website and found out it supports a lot of the 802.11b cards
(11mbps) out there, however not much support for the 22mbps ones.

Is there a plan to write those drivers? I personally have a d-link DWL 650+,
if u guys need to beta-testing anything, let me know.

Cheers, -Michael

[Wirelessdriver-support] Installation Failure

[John A. D. <jad...@ma...>]

I am trying to install Wireless Driver and an Orinoco gold card.  I 
followed the hint on these pages to option drag the mounted disc to the 
desktop to create a folder.  The three files seem to be where they 
should be.  The deviation from the installation instructions comes 
after rebooting: I have a Wireless Configuration icon but no en1 or 
en2.   I tried using the onboard Ethernet, but that did not seem to 
work.

The card power light blinks, and I have a usable Airport signal from a 
Netgear unit at the present location.

The troubleshooting script is attached.

Thanks for your assistance.

[Wirelessdriver-support] What cards are work and are skinny enough to fit two in a Wallstreet?

[Rob F. <fr...@ww...>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to get a webcam set up to monitor a robin's nest, and I have 
a Wallstreet powerbook and a ADS Technology USB cardbus card that will 
work for connecting the webcam, but I also need to connect to the 
wireless network, and this USB card doesn't have a dongle; it has a big 
bump on the top to house the connectors.  Unfortunately, the Lucent 
cards I have, also have a bump, and so there is physical interference.  
(You can't put them both in the PCMCIA slots simultaneously.)  What 
cards work with the driver that are skinny enough to put two of them in 
the two slots of a Wallstreet powerbook.  (I thought I had found a 
source of Farallon SkyLine cards, and that they would fit, but 
unfortunately, the source was sold out, and other sources were four or 
five times as expensive.)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob

[Wirelessdriver-support] OSX 10.2.6 - No EN1 and the card hangs my machine

[Carl Di C. <ca...@bt...>]

I've been happily running an Intersil prism WLAN card (Siemens I-Gate 
11m).

Since I upgraded to 10.2.6, however, the card hangs my machine when 
inserted. If I try to boot with the card in I get the same problem, 
take the card out and everything returns to normal.

Upgraded to 5.1 of the software too and despite following all the 
terminal instructions available and numerous reloads and reboots I 
can't get the EN1 to appear in network preferences.

Not certain if these are related problems but any support here would be 
greatly appreciated.

I know this isn't exactly what you were asking about, but the IOXperts 
802.11b Driver supports AppleTalk when used with an access point which 
also supports AppleTalk.  See <http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b_X.html> 
for details.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Appletalk

[Mark D. H. <m.h...@at...>]

I know from reading the FAQ that Appletalk is a non starter at this point,
but since I just went wireless with my business network, and got my office
computer (wallstreet powerbook) set up with the wireless driver, let me
first say thank you for helping a vintage machine continue on into the next
century and OS.

And secondly, is there a workaround to printing at this point? I have a HP
printer running off of an HP print server (ethernet) and wondered if there
is a way to use IP to somehow work around the Appletalk problem. If you boot
in OS9 using the airport software, can you then print, or can you print
using applications from within Classic?

Appreciate any help, or any idea when Appletalk may be incorporated into the
driver.

I believe I have found why so many people are having trouble installing 
the drivers.  I recently re-partitioned my Powerbook G3 HD and had the 
same problems running a valid installation.  Why?  Because I executed 
the installer from the mounted .DMG!

   The .kext was never installed.

Solution:
   Option-drag the mounted disk to your desktop.  It may still look the 
same, but it is actually a FOLDER, not a hard drive.  Now execute the 
installer from the folder and everything should install correctly.  Run 
the Troubleshooting utility to verify that the 3 files are installed 
correctly and you have en1 with a valid IP address.
